Elementary Schools in Moran Township School District

Summary:

The Moran Township School District in Michigan is home to a single elementary school, Gros Cap School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. Despite its small size, with only 87 students, the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 362 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 843 out of 1,470 in 2022-2023.

Academically, Gros Cap School's proficiency rates on the M-Step standardized test vary across different subjects and grade levels. While 5th-grade science proficiency is relatively high at 57.14%, 3rd-grade and 5th-grade math proficiency is lower at 33.33% and 42.86%, respectively. The school also serves a high-poverty student population, with over 57% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may impact the school's resources and support systems.

Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it maintains a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11.5 and spends $20,881 per student, which could allow for more personalized attention and support. However, the school's small size may also limit the availability of specialized programs and resources. Overall, Gros Cap School appears to be the sole elementary school in the Moran Township School District, and its performance and demographics suggest both strengths and areas for potential improvement.
