Summary:
The Adrian Public Schools district in Michigan is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools face significant academic challenges, with most underperforming compared to state averages across a range of subjects and grade levels.
Among the standout schools is Lincoln Elementary School, which outperforms the district and state in several areas, including 5th grade English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Lincoln Elementary has the highest 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate at 60%, compared to the district average of 31.8% and the state average of 44.4%. Another strong performer is Alexander Elementary School, which exceeds the district average in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Math, and has the highest 4th grade Math proficiency rate at 42.5%, compared to the district average of 31.7% and the state average of 39.4%.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates ranging from as low as 7.32% (Michener Elementary 5th grade Math) to as high as 60% (Lincoln Elementary 5th grade English Language Arts). The schools also have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.78% (Alexander Elementary) to 92.45% (Michener Elementary), and consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5% across the district. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and improving attendance could be key to enhancing the academic performance of these elementary schools.
