Summary:
The Genesee School District in Michigan has only one elementary school, Haas Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Haas Elementary appears to be a low-performing school within the district and the state, with consistently below-average academic achievement across multiple subject areas and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Haas Elementary's student population is predominantly White (73.78%), with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students. A significant majority (85.86%) of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $13,127, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 15.8, slightly higher than the state average.
The school's academic performance on the M-Step assessments in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies is consistently below the state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points or more. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 1157 out of 1344 Michigan elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1236 out of 1486 in 2023-2024. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.8% is also a significant concern that may be contributing to the low academic performance and requires further investigation and intervention.
