Summary:
Onsted Community Schools has one elementary school, Onsted Elementary, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. Located in the small town of Onsted, Michigan, the school's performance is mixed compared to state averages, with some areas of strength and some areas of weakness. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower-income student population, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate.
Onsted Elementary has a SchoolDigger rating of 3 out of 5 stars, indicating average performance compared to other Michigan elementary schools. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, but remains in the middle of the pack. In terms of academic proficiency, Onsted Elementary's 3rd grade students perform above the state average in both ELA and math, but 4th and 5th grade students lag behind state averages in these subjects. However, the school's 5th grade students excel in science and social studies, outperforming the state average.
With Onsted Elementary being the sole elementary school in the district, the Onsted Community Schools district's overall performance is closely tied to this school's outcomes. Improving the school's academic performance, addressing attendance and engagement issues, and supporting the needs of the lower-income student population could have a significant impact on the district's standing and the educational opportunities available to local families.
