Zeeland Quest

Summary:

Zeeland Quest is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Zeeland Public Schools district, with 147 students and a predominantly White (74.15%) student population. The school is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger and has consistently ranked in the top third of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade.

Zeeland Quest stands out for its strong academic performance, with students significantly outpacing state averages in M-Step/English Language Arts and Math proficiency. For example, in 2023-2024, 7th grade students had 72.73% proficiency in both ELA and Math, compared to state averages of 37.9% and 32.1% respectively. The school's male and White students perform particularly well, ranking in the top 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated, the 2022-2023 rate of 8.6% is lower than the district and state averages.

Compared to other Zeeland Public Schools, Zeeland Quest outperforms the district averages, but lags behind the top-performing New Groningen School, which ranks in the top 10% of Michigan elementary schools. Zeeland Quest also serves a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of Hispanic and multi-racial students than other Zeeland schools. The school's relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 23.12% to 36.74% over the past 3 years suggests it serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional resources and support.

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.
