Elementary Schools in South Lyon Community Schools

Summary:

The South Lyon Community Schools district in Michigan is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is highly ranked, placing 56th out of 613 districts in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Two schools stand out in the district: William A Pearson Elementary and Sharon J Hardy Elementary School. Both schools have consistently high test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math exceeding 60% across grade levels. In contrast, other schools in the district, such as Frank E Bartlett School, struggle with lower math proficiency compared to the district and state averages.

While the district's overall performance is strong, there are some areas of concern. The chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is 29.5%, which may be impacting student learning. Additionally, the variation in free and reduced-price lunch rates, ranging from 11.21% to 36.87%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in student achievement. Interestingly, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, as some of the higher-performing schools have relatively lower spending compared to others in the district.
