Summary:
The Comstock Public Schools district in Michigan is home to two elementary schools, Comstock Elementary School and STEM Academy, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade.
Based on the available data, STEM Academy emerges as the standout school in the district. It consistently ranks much higher in the statewide rankings, receiving a 5-star rating from School Digger, and significantly outperforming Comstock Elementary School and the district as a whole on standardized test scores. STEM Academy also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a smaller percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Comstock Elementary School.
While Comstock Elementary School has a more diverse student population, it lags behind STEM Academy in academic performance and other key metrics. The significant gap in school performance raises questions about equity and access within the district, and suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school culture, may be driving the differences in student outcomes between the two schools.
