Summary:
The Cadillac Area Public Schools district in Michigan operates three elementary schools: Franklin Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School, and Forest View Elementary School. Based on the available data, Forest View Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with higher academic proficiency rates and a stronger statewide ranking compared to the other two schools and the state averages.
Forest View Elementary has the highest statewide school ranking, placing 307 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools, and earning a 4-star rating. In key subject areas like 5th grade math, Forest View's proficiency rate of 57.1% exceeds the district average of 53% and the statewide average of 32.9%. Additionally, Forest View has the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 62%, compared to 69.69% at Franklin Elementary and 77.3% at Lincoln Elementary.
While Forest View stands out, the other two elementary schools in the district, Franklin and Lincoln, tend to lag behind in academic performance, particularly in math and science proficiency. This suggests potential performance gaps that the district may need to address. Across all three schools, the chronic absenteeism rate is consistently high at 29.5%, which is an area of concern that the district should prioritize. The similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools indicate that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be influencing the performance differences.
