Longacre Elementary School

Summary:

Longacre Elementary School is a public elementary school in Farmington, Michigan, serving 455 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. This high-performing school consistently outperforms state and district averages, ranking in the top 20% of Michigan elementary schools.

Longacre Elementary School's academic excellence is evident in its strong performance on M-Step assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, Longacre's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students scored significantly higher than the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, ranking in the top 5% for its African American students and the top 10% for its English Language Learner students.

Chronic absenteeism has risen significantly, from 10.2% in 2020-2021 to 25.1% in 2022-2023, which may impact the school's academic performance. Additionally, Longacre's diverse student population, with a significant Asian student representation, highlights the need to address the academic needs of all subgroups effectively.

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.
