Francois Maconce Elementary School

Summary:

Francois Maconce Elementary School is a public elementary school in Ira, Michigan, serving 303 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Anchor Bay School District.

While Francois Maconce has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.49%) compared to the state average, it faces several challenges. The school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.6% in 2018-2019 to 41.5% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Francois Maconce's proficiency rates on the M-Step assessments are generally lower than the district and state, with its 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate at 37.8% compared to 53.5% for the district and 39.6% for the state. Additionally, 74.59% of Francois Maconce's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, when compared to other elementary schools in the Anchor Bay School District, such as Great Oaks Elementary School, Francois Maconce performs significantly lower in academic proficiency. However, the school's low-income students perform relatively well compared to their peers statewide, ranking 305 out of 1,381 Michigan elementary schools and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests that targeted interventions and support could potentially lead to improved outcomes for all students at Francois Maconce Elementary School.

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.
