Williams Elementary School

Summary:

Williams Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Jonesville, Michigan, serving 549 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Jonesville Community Schools district, which is ranked 220 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Williams Elementary School's test scores are generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, there are some areas of concern. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.5% in 2018-2019 to 18.1% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school's 4th-grade English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates have been declining over the past few years, falling below the state averages. The school's special education students also rank in the bottom 25% of Michigan elementary schools, indicating a need for improvement in supporting this student group. Interestingly, Williams Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.53%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations.

When compared to the nearby elementary schools, such as Concord Elementary School, Jennings Elementary School, and Pittsford Area Elementary School, Williams Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of test scores and other metrics. However, the surrounding schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates and a more diverse student population, which may contribute to their overall performance. Additionally, Williams Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools and the state average.

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.
