Summary:
The Bloomingdale Public School District in Michigan is home to two elementary schools: Bloomingdale Elementary School and Pullman Elementary School. Both schools are performing significantly below the state average, with low statewide rankings and single-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
The key metrics for these schools are concerning. Both Bloomingdale Elementary and Pullman Elementary have high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5%, well above the state average. Their proficiency rates on the M-Step assessments in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Bloomingdale Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 19.5% in ELA and 26.8% in Math, compared to the district averages of 18.2% and 22.7%, and the state averages of 38.9% and 42.7%, respectively.
The socioeconomic challenges faced by these schools are also significant, with Bloomingdale Elementary having a 77% free and reduced lunch rate and Pullman Elementary having an even higher rate of 89.07% for the 2023-2024 school year. While the reported $0 spending per student is likely an incomplete or inaccurate data point, the overall picture suggests that the Bloomingdale Public School District is struggling to provide quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes.
