Summary:

The Swartz Creek Community Schools district in Michigan is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools include Morrish Elementary School, Elms Road Elementary School, Syring Elementary School, Dieck Elementary School, and Gaines Elementary School.

Among these schools, Syring Elementary School stands out with the highest statewide ranking and the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its relatively stronger performance. Meanwhile, Gaines Elementary School, the smallest in the district with 108 students, has shown promising academic results, with its 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages, and its 5th grade science proficiency rate being the highest among the schools.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates across all 5 schools, ranging from 29.5% for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population. These factors may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed among the schools, with some, like Elms Road Elementary and Dieck Elementary, seeing their statewide rankings decline over the past few years. Addressing these issues will be crucial for Swartz Creek Community Schools to improve overall student outcomes.
