Elementary Schools in Wolverine Community School District

Summary:

The Wolverine Community School District in Michigan has only one elementary school, Wolverine Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been consistently below the state average, with low proficiency rates in core academic subjects and a high chronic absenteeism rate.

Wolverine Elementary School is ranked 1084 out of 1488 Michigan elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, the school had a 20% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 38.9%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate was also high, at 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1, and the per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $16,001. However, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 85.45% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may be facing additional socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting its academic performance and student outcomes.
