Page Elementary School

Summary:

Page Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving grades 4-5 in the Thornapple Kellogg School District in Middleville, Michigan, with a student population of 456. While the school consistently outperforms the state average on test scores, it faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism and declining statewide rankings compared to other high-performing schools in the area.

Page Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.57%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 82.54% to 91.08% white students. The school's test scores are impressive, with 44.7% of 4th graders and 50.6% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 45.6% of 4th graders and 29.4% of 5th graders proficient or better in math, all outpacing the state averages. However, the school has seen a concerning rise in chronic absenteeism, from 5.2% in 2018-2019 to 18.5% in 2022-2023, higher than the nearby schools.

While Page Elementary outperforms the state, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Kettle Lake Elementary and Caledonia Elementary, both part of the Caledonia Community Schools district. These schools have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Page Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 420 out of 1,548 Michigan elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 642 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

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.
