Northwest Elementary School

Summary:

Northwest Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Northwest Community Schools district in Jackson, Michigan. The school has a student population of 778 and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Northwest Elementary has seen significant challenges in recent years. The school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.3% to 42.2%, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's performance on state assessments is consistently below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 30.6% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 39.6% and the district average of 30.6%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby schools, Northwest Elementary stands out as one of the lower-performing schools in the area. Paragon Charter Academy, located within 5 miles of Northwest Elementary, consistently outperforms the school across various academic measures. Northwest Elementary's performance on student subgroups is also concerning, with the Hispanic and Multi-racial student subgroups performing particularly poorly compared to their peers statewide. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $9,178 to $11,450 over the past few years, these resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

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.
