Schall Elementary School

Summary:

Schall Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Caro, Michigan, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 298. The school is part of the Caro Community Schools district, which is ranked 319 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schall Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Meachum Elementary, Reese Elementary School, and Cass City Elementary. The school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 29.2% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 39.6%. Additionally, Schall Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.3% in 2020-2021 to 19.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Another notable factor is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Schall Elementary, ranging from 62.62% in 2020-2021 to 74.83% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. This suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. Despite the higher per-student spending at Schall Elementary compared to the state average and nearby schools, the school's academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement, indicating that the school and district should focus on targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
