Sheiko Elementary School

Summary:

Sheiko Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Bloomfield, Michigan, serving 432 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the West Bloomfield School District, which is ranked 157 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Sheiko Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with 42.13% African American, 40.28% White, and smaller percentages of Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial students. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.8% in 2018-2019 to 17.6% in 2022-2023, higher than nearby schools like Scotch Elementary (13.4%) and Gretchko Elementary (16.8%). Academically, Sheiko's proficiency rates on the M-Step tests lag behind the district and state averages, with 31.7% to 52.6% of students meeting standards, compared to 43.8% for the district and 39.6% to 44% for the state.

Sheiko's challenges include a declining statewide ranking, from 540 out of 1,408 Michigan elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 733 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families (40.28% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and the increasing chronic absenteeism may be contributing factors to its lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Roosevelt Elementary and Scotch Elementary. However, Sheiko's diverse population and the strong performance of its African American students suggest opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and interventions.

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.

Open Quote Dishonest Principal

I am the parent of a child with learning disabilities. The principal suggested that my child repeat a grade because of the difficulties that he was having with math and reading. She said that he would barely be able to hang on in the next grade.

This sounds like reasonable advice, but I happen to know that teachers are all taught that retention should never be recommended for a child with a learning disability because it does no good. Instead, it almost inevitably results in psychological harm.

So why did Mrs. Sheiko recommend we do this? Is she ignorant of this fact? Or perhaps more interested in the higher test scores that would result when a child repeats a grade?
Test scores are used to evaluate principals. Was that her reason? I think so. Close Quote

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.
