Summary:
The Litchfield Community Schools district in Michigan has only one elementary school, Litchfield Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is significantly below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Litchfield Elementary School's ranking has been declining over the past few years, from 1080 out of 1486 in 2023-2024 to 1338 out of 1470 in 2022-2023, and it currently ranks 1191 out of 1488 Michigan elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance in subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies lags behind the state averages, with only 20% of 3rd and 5th-grade students proficient or better in ELA, and 26.67% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 38.9%, 44.4%, and 42.7%, respectively.
The school serves a population with significant economic disadvantage, with 70.48% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the high spending per student of $17,371, the school's academic challenges persist, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning. Overall, the data indicates that Litchfield Elementary School is a struggling school that is not meeting the academic needs of its students, and significant interventions and improvements may be necessary to help the school and its students succeed.
