Summary:
The 48821 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Dimondale Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 333 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by M-Step proficiency rates, consistently falls below the Holt Public Schools district and Michigan state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.
Dimondale Elementary School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.5% and a predominantly low-income student population, with 62.76% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,062 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, its academic performance has remained stagnant, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
Overall, the analysis of Dimondale Elementary School highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address the school's academic performance challenges, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors. Addressing these issues may require a focus on improving instructional practices, implementing targeted interventions, and addressing non-academic barriers to student success.
