Northeast Elementary School

Summary:

Northeast Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 481 students in grades K-5 in the Jackson Public Schools district in Jackson, Michigan. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Northeast Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by M-STEP proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 6.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 39.6% statewide and 24.3% in the district. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes 42.41% White, 26.61% African American, 11.43% Hispanic, and 18.5% two or more races. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, is even lower than the overall school rankings.

While the nearby schools in the Jackson Public Schools district also struggle with low academic performance and high rates of poverty, Northeast Elementary School stands out as one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. For example, Cascades Elementary School and Hunt Elementary School, both magnet schools in the district, have higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism than Northeast Elementary. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the 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.
