Springport Elementary School

Summary:

Springport Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 476 students in grades K-5 in Springport, Michigan, which is part of the Eaton Rapids Public Schools district, ranked 357 out of 610 districts in the state with a 2-star rating.

Springport Elementary School faces several challenges, including a predominantly white student population (87.61%) that is significantly higher than the state average, consistently low academic performance on M-Step tests across all grade levels and subject areas (only 32.2% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to state averages of 39.6% and 43.4%), and a high rate of chronic absenteeism that has increased from 18.5% in 2018-2019 to 27.9% in 2022-2023, well above the state average of 18.6%. Additionally, 71.22% of Springport Elementary students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the state average of 48.9%.

While Springport Elementary School's spending per student has increased from $11,381 in 2019-2020 to $13,811 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average of $12,715, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. In comparison, Parma Elementary School, which is just 10.09 miles away, had significantly higher M-Step proficiency rates in 2023-2024, with 78.3% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 79.7% proficient in Math. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to Springport Elementary's challenges, such as student engagement, family support, and targeted interventions, may be necessary to improve the school's performance and better serve its 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.
