Summary:
The Clawson Public Schools district in Michigan is home to two elementary schools, Paul A. Schalm School and Kenwood Elementary School, both serving students from kindergarten through fifth grade.
Among the two schools, Paul A. Schalm School stands out for its consistently higher test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects, including 5th grade English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies, where it outperforms both the district and state averages. In contrast, Kenwood Elementary School excels in specific areas, such as 4th grade English Language Arts and Math, where its proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state.
Both schools, however, face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly above the state average. Additionally, while Kenwood Elementary School spends more per student than Paul A. Schalm School, this higher spending does not directly correlate with higher test scores, as Paul A. Schalm School outperforms Kenwood Elementary School in several areas. The overall performance of the Clawson Public Schools district, ranked 220 out of 613 in Michigan with a 3-star rating, suggests room for improvement across the district.
