Summary:
The Belding Area School District in Michigan is home to two elementary schools: Ellis Elementary School and Woodview Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of a district that is ranked 393 out of 613 school districts in the state, with a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While the two schools have similar characteristics, there are no clear standout performers. Both Ellis Elementary and Woodview Elementary have high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5%, indicating a need to address student attendance. Additionally, a large portion of the student population in both schools comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free and reduced lunch rates of 61.24% and 63.79%, respectively. This suggests that the schools may face additional challenges in providing resources and support to their students.
Academically, Woodview Elementary's standardized test scores in subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions in 4th and 5th-grade math. This underperformance highlights the need for the district to focus on improving academic achievement across its elementary schools. Despite the differences in enrollment, the schools have relatively similar metrics in terms of district ranking, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios, suggesting a consistent level of resources and support across the district.
