Elementary Schools in Yale Public Schools

The Yale Public Schools district in Michigan is home to three elementary schools: Yale Elementary School, Avoca Elementary School, and John F FarrellEmmett Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of a district that is performing well overall, with all three elementary schools ranked in the top 50% of Michigan elementary schools.

Among the three schools, Yale Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher than the other two schools in the district-wide SchoolDigger rankings and maintaining a 5-star rating, the highest possible. The school outperforms the district and state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, particularly in 4th and 5th-grade English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, Avoca Elementary School and John F FarrellEmmett Elementary School have more mixed results, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall behind.

One area of concern across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools vary in their spending per student, with John F FarrellEmmett Elementary School having the highest spending at $15,742 per student, followed by Avoca Elementary School at $15,217 and Yale Elementary School at $13,506. However, the higher spending does not necessarily translate to higher academic performance, as Yale Elementary School has the lowest spending per student but the highest overall performance.
