Summary:
The Marion Public Schools district in Michigan has only one elementary school, Marion Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 667 out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 808 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024.
Marion Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average, while others fall below. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 32.3% for 3rd grade to 44% for 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 38.9% and 44.4%, respectively. In Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 29.6% for 4th grade to 38.7% for 3rd grade, compared to the state averages of 39.4% and 42.7%, respectively. The school's proficiency rates in Science (44%) and Social Studies (28%) for 5th grade in 2024-2025 were both close to the state averages.
The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 81.34% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 and a per-student spending of $16,584 in 2023-2024, which could indicate a focus on providing resources and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that Marion Elementary School faces unique challenges but also has the potential to improve student outcomes with targeted interventions and support.
