Summary:
Decatur Public Schools in Michigan has only one elementary school, Davis Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. The school faces academic performance challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies generally below state averages. However, the school has a relatively high per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average.
Davis Elementary School's student population of 380 is predominantly White (68.16%), with a significant Hispanic population (22.89%). The school has a high percentage of students (70.53%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This is reflected in the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
While the school's funding and resources appear to be adequate, the academic performance challenges and socioeconomic factors suggest a need for a more comprehensive approach to improving student outcomes. Strategies that focus on improving attendance, providing targeted academic interventions, and addressing the underlying socioeconomic challenges may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements at Davis Elementary School within the Decatur Public Schools district.
