Summary:
The city of Hermansville, Michigan has only one elementary school, North Central Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the North Central Area Schools district. While the district is ranked 185 out of 613 in Michigan and has a 4-star rating, North Central Elementary's performance has fluctuated in recent years, going from a 3-star ranking in 2022-2023 to a 2-star ranking in the following two years.
North Central Elementary faces some significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and mixed academic performance compared to state averages. While the school excels in 3rd and 4th grade math, it struggles in other subjects and grade levels, with 5th grade proficiency rates well below the state average in ELA, math, science, and social studies. The school serves a high-need population, with over 59% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the academic struggles, North Central Elementary does have some bright spots, including higher-than-average spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 20:1. With targeted interventions and a focus on improving attendance and academic outcomes, the school may be able to build on its strengths and better support the learning and achievement of its students.
