HamiltonParsons Elementary School

Summary:

HamiltonParsons Elementary School is a public elementary school in Leonard, Michigan, serving 527 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Romeo Community Schools district, which is ranked 128 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

HamiltonParsons stands out for its high academic performance, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages on M-Step tests. For example, in 2023-2024, 54.8% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 49.3% for the district and 43.3% statewide. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (18.79%) compared to nearby schools like Washington Elementary (50.14%) and Leonard Elementary (29.78%). However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.5% in 2020-2021 to 31.7% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern.

While HamiltonParsons outperforms the state and district, nearby schools like Hevel Elementary and schools in the Rochester Community School District demonstrate even stronger academic performance, particularly in math and science. This suggests there may be opportunities for HamiltonParsons to learn from these high-performing schools. Overall, HamiltonParsons is a high-quality school serving a predominantly white, relatively affluent student population, but it should continue to address the recent increase in chronic absenteeism.

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.
