Breckenridge Elementary School

Summary:

Breckenridge Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 299 students in grades PK-5 in Breckenridge, Michigan, which is part of the Breckenridge Community Schools district. While the school has some strengths, it also faces challenges compared to nearby schools and the state average.

One key difference is Breckenridge Elementary's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.32%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like KC Ling Elementary School and Hemlock Elementary School. Additionally, Breckenridge Elementary has seen a notable increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.0% in 2018-2019 to 29.6% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average and most nearby schools. The school's test scores are mixed, performing above average in some areas but lagging behind in others, and it has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 56.86%.

Compared to its neighbors, Breckenridge Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby Hemlock Public School District, which has higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and a higher statewide ranking. Additionally, Breckenridge Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, despite increased per-student spending, and it faces achievement gaps among certain student subgroups. While the school has some strengths, these insights highlight areas for potential improvement to better serve the needs of its students.

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.
