Summary:
The New Lothrop Area Public Schools district has one elementary school, New Lothrop Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 508 students. This school stands out as a high-performing institution within the district and the state of Michigan.
New Lothrop Elementary School consistently demonstrates strong academic performance, with test scores that exceed state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For instance, in 2024-2025, 65.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 42.7%. The school's ranking within the state has also remained in the top 30% of Michigan elementary schools in recent years.

While the school has a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with 35.83% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.6 to 1 and spends $9,453 per student. These factors likely contribute to the school's academic success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is an area that could be targeted for improvement, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student outcomes.
