Elementary Schools in Jefferson Schools (Monroe)

Summary:

The Jefferson Schools (Monroe) district in Michigan has two elementary schools: North Elementary School and Sodt Elementary School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and face similar challenges in terms of academic performance, student attendance, and socioeconomic factors.

While neither school stands out as a clear standout performer, the data reveals some key insights. North Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 829th out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,093rd out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. Both schools perform significantly below the state averages in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies assessments. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 29.5% of students being chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year.

The high free and reduced lunch rates at both schools, 57.88% at North Elementary School and 56.28% at Sodt Elementary School, suggest a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite the consistent spending per student and student-teacher ratios at both schools, the academic performance still lags behind state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for students in the Jefferson Schools (Monroe) district.
