Elementary Schools in East Jordan Public Schools

Summary:

The East Jordan Public Schools district has one elementary school, East Jordan Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates in some subjects falling below the state averages. However, the district is allocating significant resources to the school, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending.

East Jordan Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 685 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 716 out of 1,470 in 2022-2023, with a rating of 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions. In M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies, the school's proficiency rates were also below the state averages.

The school faces some challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (65.76% in 2023-2024) and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in 2023-2024. Despite the district's investment in resources, the academic results do not yet reflect the level of support, suggesting that a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions and family engagement, may be needed to address the school's performance issues.
