Summary:
The Allen Park Public Schools district in Michigan is home to three elementary schools: Lindemann Elementary School, Bennie Elementary School, and Arno Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are located in the city of Allen Park.
Among the three schools, Arno Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking 286 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating. Arno Elementary significantly outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies for grades 3-5. For example, in 5th grade English Language Arts, Arno had 63.3% proficiency compared to the district average of 55.7% and the state average of 44.4%. In contrast, Bennie Elementary School appears to be the weakest performer, with lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking.
All three schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, around 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a relatively high-need student population, with 43.28% to 52.57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the schools have relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $13,710 to $14,656, which is above the state average, and reasonable student-teacher ratios between 15.8 and 18.5 students per teacher.
