Elementary Schools in Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools

Summary:

The Galesburg-Augusta Community Schools district has one elementary school, GalesburgAugusta Primary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges in the community.

GalesburgAugusta Primary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools, with a 2024-2025 ranking of 926 out of 1,488 schools and a 2023-2024 ranking of 752 out of 1,486 schools. The school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math for 3rd and 4th grades is below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $16,297 for the 2023-2024 school year, which is above the state average, the academic performance remains a concern. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes. The district and school leadership will need to implement a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's challenges, such as socioeconomic factors and chronic absenteeism, in order to improve academic achievement for the students.
