Summary

Henry Niedermeier Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Newport, Michigan, with 240 students enrolled. The school is part of the Airport Community Schools district, which is ranked 270 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has some areas of strength, such as relatively strong performance for students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, it has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state on M-STEP assessments for English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, the school has faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.9% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also serves a higher percentage of students from low-income families, with 58.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, the nearby Joseph C. Sterling Elementary and Loren Eyler Elementary schools, which are also part of the Airport Community Schools district, generally outperform Henry Niedermeier Elementary School on academic measures. However, the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status students suggests that with the right targeted interventions and support, there is potential for improvement in the school's overall academic outcomes.
