Summary:
The East Lansing School District consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is ranked 118 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out. Whitehills Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 5-star rating and test scores significantly higher than the district and state averages. East Lansing High School also performs well, ranking among the top 100 high schools in Michigan with a 4-star rating and test scores above the state averages. Additionally, Glencairn School is an elementary school that performs above the district and state averages.
The district as a whole has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% at the high school, which is above the state average. However, the district also faces challenges, such as a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% across all schools. Additionally, there are variations in free/reduced lunch rates and spending per student across the schools, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation that the district may want to address. The district should also consider the relatively high student-teacher ratios, especially at the high school level, as a factor that may impact student performance.
