Summary

Alexander Hamilton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Westland, Michigan, serving 468 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wayne-Westland Community School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alexander Hamilton Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance on M-Step tests, and inconsistent performance across different student subgroups. While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, it remains below the state and district averages. When compared to other nearby schools in the district, Alexander Hamilton's performance is generally lower across various metrics, suggesting systemic issues within the district.

The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism at Alexander Hamilton Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's academic struggles. The varying performance of different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well compared to their White and low-income peers, indicates that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of each subgroup. Over the past several years, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, suggesting that it is falling behind its peers across the state.
