Capac Elementary School

Summary:

Capac Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 342 students in grades PK-6 in Capac, Michigan. The school is part of the Capac Community Schools district, which is ranked 349 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Capac Elementary School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.77%) compared to the state average, and generally lower academic performance on M-Step tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 34.8%, compared to the state average of 39.6% and the district average of 34%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13% to 28.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Capac Elementary has a high percentage of students (61.4%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Avoca Elementary School and Orchard Primary School, Capac Elementary School generally underperforms academically. The school also struggles to support its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations, ranking in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools for these subgroups. Despite spending more per student ($18,066 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting that addressing the underlying challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and low socioeconomic status, will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes of Capac Elementary School 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.
