Issac Monfort Elementary consistently outperforms the Utica Community Schools district and the state of Michigan in academic proficiency, with 63.4% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 47.3% for the district and 39.6% for the state. The school has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 37.9% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, lower than nearby schools like West Utica Elementary (78.05%) and Roberts Elementary (59.09%).

While Issac Monfort Elementary has maintained strong academic performance, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.5% in 2018-2019 to 17.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools like Beacon Tree Elementary (12.0%) and Crissman Elementary (15.8%). The school should explore the underlying causes and implement strategies to improve student attendance, as chronic absenteeism can have a negative impact on academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
