Cedar Crest Elementary School

Summary:

Cedar Crest Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greenville, Michigan, serving 302 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Greenville Public Schools district, which is ranked 94 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cedar Crest's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally above the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, 63.3% of 3rd graders were proficient in Math, compared to 43.4% statewide. The school's per-student spending has increased from $11,696 in 2019-2020 to $16,705 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 9.7 in 2022-2023 is lower than the state average. These factors suggest Cedar Crest is investing resources in its students, which may contribute to its academic success.

However, Cedar Crest has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.8% in 2018-2019 to 24.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. This is an area of concern that the school may need to address. Compared to nearby schools, Cedar Crest's academic performance is generally stronger than Lincoln Heights Elementary and Walnut Hills Elementary, but it lags behind the high-performing schools in the Rockford and Lowell districts, such as Lakes Elementary and Murray Lake Elementary.

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.
