Summary

Hutchinson ElementaryMiddle School is a public school in Detroit, Michigan, serving 369 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District, which is ranked 549 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hutchinson ElementaryMiddle School consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in standardized test scores, with only 7.5% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.9% statewide and 12.9% in the district. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 69.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Hutchinson ElementaryMiddle School has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 89.16% to 91.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The challenges faced by Hutchinson ElementaryMiddle School are not unique, as nearby schools such as Moses Field Center, Carstens ElementaryMiddle School, Hamilton Academy, and Nichols ElementaryMiddle School also struggle with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This suggests that the issues are systemic within the Detroit Public Schools Community District, and addressing them will require comprehensive, evidence-based interventions that go beyond simply increasing funding and resources.
