Abbot School stands out for its more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (18.71%) and Hispanic (11.04%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school faces challenges, including a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 10.5% to 33.7% over the past few years, and test scores that, while generally above the state average, lag behind the Ann Arbor Public Schools district and some of the higher-performing nearby schools, especially in math and science. Additionally, Abbot School has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 42.02% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, Abbot School's statewide ranking has dropped from 194 out of 1,466 Michigan elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 444 out of 1,470 in 2022-2023, indicating a decline in performance relative to other schools in the state. The performance gap between male and female students at Abbot School is also notable, with female students consistently ranking lower than male students in the school's overall rankings. While Abbot School's performance is generally above the state average, it lags behind many of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Ann Arbor STEAM at Northside School, Uriah H Lawton School, and Wines Elementary School, which have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
