Summary

Lottie M Schmidt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Chesterfield, Michigan, serving 333 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Anchor Bay School District. The school has consistently ranked in the top 20% of Michigan elementary schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Science.

Lottie M Schmidt Elementary generally outperforms other Anchor Bay schools in academic metrics, but some nearby schools, such as Great Oaks Elementary, have even higher rankings and proficiency rates. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students outperforming their female counterparts. However, the school has faced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.9% in 2020-2021 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, which may impact academic outcomes.

Overall, Lottie M Schmidt Elementary is a strong-performing school within its district, but it could benefit from learning from the best practices of higher-performing nearby schools and addressing the concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism. By focusing on these areas, the school can continue to provide a quality education for its students.
