Susick Elementary School

Summary:

Susick Elementary School is a public elementary school in Troy, Michigan, serving 382 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Warren Consolidated Schools district, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Susick Elementary has a higher percentage of White (62.57%) and Asian (16.75%) students compared to nearby schools, which tend to be more diverse. Academically, the school's performance on M-Step tests is generally on par or slightly above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math, but lags behind in Science and Social Studies. However, Susick has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.8% in 2019-2020 to 29.6% in 2021-2022, which is higher than surrounding schools. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (68.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the nearby Troy School District schools.

Susick's statewide ranking has trended downward in recent years, from a high of 569 out of 1,548 Michigan elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 788 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. This decline is concerning, and the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian students and those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds tending to perform better than their peers. Despite an increase in spending per student, from $13,055 in 2019-2020 to $18,474 in 2022-2023, Susick's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

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.
