Summary:
The city of Lewiston, Michigan has a single public elementary school, Lewiston Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools district.
Lewiston Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools, with a ranking between 748 and 1,070 out of 1,486-1,488 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $20,811 and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 16.9, the school's performance remains below the district and state averages. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (79.17%) indicates that the school may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student achievement, and further investigation into the root causes of the school's performance would be necessary to develop a comprehensive plan for improvement.
