McKinley Elementary School

Summary:

McKinley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Warren, Michigan, serving 344 students in grades K-5 and part of the Van Dyke Public Schools district.

McKinley Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 63.66% African American (much higher than the state average) and over 96% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step proficiency rates, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%. Additionally, McKinley has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.0% in 2020-2021 to 46.2% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing McKinley to other nearby schools, such as Lincoln Elementary and Marjorie Carlson Elementary, both within the same Van Dyke Public Schools district, McKinley generally performs worse academically and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by McKinley are not unique to the school but may be systemic within the district. Despite the high per-student spending at McKinley, ranging from $11,263 in 2019-2020 to $18,953 in 2022-2023, the school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 979 out of 1,408 Michigan elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,114 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024.

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.
