Elementary Schools in Evart Public Schools

Summary:

Evart Public Schools has only one elementary school, Evart Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 4th grade. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 711 out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,069 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 1 star during this time period.

Academically, Evart Elementary School's proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade M-Step English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than the state averages, with the 4th grade Math proficiency rate at 34.5% compared to the state average of 39.4%. The school's proficiency rates have also declined across all grade levels and subjects from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year. Furthermore, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $15,301 and a smaller student-teacher ratio of 14.3, the academic performance remains a concern. This suggests that simply increasing funding and reducing class sizes may not be enough to address the underlying issues. The school also serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 73.82% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
