These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, with Ethel C Bobcean Elementary covering grades PK-2 and John M Barnes Elementary covering grades 3-5.
Based on the available data, neither school stands out as a clear academic performer, as both schools have relatively low rankings within the state of Michigan.

Both Ethel C Bobcean Elementary and John M Barnes Elementary have high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5%, which is a concerning issue that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
Academically, John M Barnes Elementary's test scores are consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies across grades 3-5. While the schools have relatively high spending per student, with Ethel C Bobcean Elementary spending $16,064 per student and John M Barnes Elementary spending $15,127 per student, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. Additionally, both schools have high rates of free and reduced lunch eligibility, indicating that the student population may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting their educational experiences and outcomes.
