Elementary Schools in Akron-Fairgrove Schools

Summary:

The AkronFairgrove Elementary School is the sole elementary school in the Akron-Fairgrove Schools district in Michigan. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and faces some academic and demographic challenges, but also has areas of strength.

AkronFairgrove Elementary School has been ranked between 504 and 655 out of 1,470 to 1,488 Michigan elementary schools over the past three school years, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions. For example, the school's 4th-grade proficiency rate in M-Step/English Language Arts (68%) was higher than the state average (42.4%) in 2024-2025, while the 3rd-grade proficiency rate (27.5%) was lower than the state average (38.9%).

The school faces challenges related to high chronic absenteeism (29.5% in 2023-2024) and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (68.75% in 2023-2024), indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the community. However, the school's relatively high per-student spending ($17,519 in 2023-2024) and low student-teacher ratio (14.1 to 1) suggest efforts to address these issues and support student learning.
