Elementary Schools in Fennville Public Schools

Summary:

Fennville Public Schools has only one elementary school, Fennville Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking that has dropped from 912 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,169 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025.

Fennville Elementary School's academic proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 22.8% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 38.9%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, at 29.5% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $16,344 in 2023-2024, which is above the state average, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.3, the academic performance remains a concern. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 81.29% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions to improve student outcomes will be crucial for Fennville Public Schools.
