Beechview Elementary School

Summary:

Beechview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Farmington Hills, Michigan, serving 364 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Farmington Public School District, which is ranked 154 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating.

Beechview Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (35.16%) and Asian (8.24%) students. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.7% in 2018-2019 to 25.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Beechview has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (35.44%) compared to the district average (22.26% at Farmington STEAM Academy). Despite these challenges, Beechview has a lower student-teacher ratio (15.5) compared to the district average (17.7 at Farmington STEAM Academy), and its 5th-grade science proficiency (55.9% in 2023-2024) is a strength.

Interestingly, Beechview's African American students perform relatively well, ranking 102 out of 348 Michigan elementary schools for this subgroup in 2023-2024, with a 4-star rating. This suggests the school is effectively supporting its diverse student population. However, Beechview's overall performance is generally lower than nearby Forest Elementary, Longacre Elementary, and Farmington STEAM Academy, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and learning from the success of high-performing schools within the Farmington Public School District could help Beechview improve student outcomes and better support its diverse learners.

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.
