Estabrook Elementary

Summary:

Estabrook Elementary is a public elementary school in Ypsilanti, Michigan, serving 282 students in grades 1-8. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Estabrook Elementary's academic performance lags far behind state and district averages. In 2023-2024, only 7.8% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.6% statewide and 13.8% in the Ypsilanti Community Schools district. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 23.6% to 84.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. With 79.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Estabrook Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population.

In comparison, nearby schools like Pittsfield School in the Ann Arbor Public Schools district and Ypsilanti International Elementary School have higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve more diverse student populations. Estabrook Elementary's declining statewide ranking and subgroup performance disparities suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.

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.
