Summary

Jane Addams Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Redford, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 276 students. The school is part of the South Redford School District, which is ranked 498 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jane Addams Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in M-Step assessments for English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 27.1% in ELA and 22.9% in Math, compared to the state averages of 38.9% and 42.7%, respectively. The school's performance has been stagnant or declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 962 out of 1,153 Michigan elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,003 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 44.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the South Redford School District, such as Thomas Jefferson Elementary and Vandenberg Elementary, also perform below state averages on academic assessments and have high rates of chronic absenteeism. However, Jane Addams Elementary's performance is generally lower than these nearby schools, suggesting that it may face unique challenges. Despite the increased per-student spending at Jane Addams Elementary, from $11,902 in 2020-2021 to $18,593 in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance has not shown significant improvement, indicating that the school may need to address the effective utilization of its resources.
