Summary:
The Pinconning Area Schools district in Michigan is home to two elementary schools: Pinconning Central Elementary School and Linwood Elementary School. While both schools serve students in the same district, their academic performance and statewide rankings differ significantly.
Pinconning Central Elementary School appears to be the stronger performer of the two, ranking 450th out of 1,488 schools statewide in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to Linwood Elementary, which ranked 1,114th. Pinconning Central also has higher proficiency rates across most subject areas and grade levels, outperforming both the district and state averages. However, both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5%.
In contrast, Linwood Elementary School has lower statewide rankings and generally lower proficiency rates, particularly in 4th grade English Language Arts and Math. Despite having a higher per-student spending of $17,425 compared to $12,855 for Pinconning Central, Linwood's academic outcomes are significantly lower, suggesting that funding alone may not be the sole driver of student performance.
