Marquette Elementary School

Summary:

Marquette Elementary School is a public elementary school in Muskegon, Michigan, serving 474 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Muskegon Public Schools of the City of district, which is ranked 585 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating.

Marquette Elementary School stands out from nearby schools in several key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American (58.65%) and Hispanic (19.83%) students compared to the state average, in contrast to the predominantly white student population at North Muskegon Elementary School. Academically, Marquette consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of Michigan elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that are far below state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 12.2% of 4th-grade students were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 43.3% and the district average of 14.1%. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 59.6% in the 2021-2022 school year, significantly higher than the 13.8% rate at North Muskegon Elementary School.

These factors, combined with the school's extremely high percentage of students (over 92%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that Marquette Elementary School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The data highlights concerning racial disparities in academic performance and raises questions about educational equity at the school. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, equity-focused approach to improve outcomes for all students at Marquette Elementary School.

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.
