Summary

Dailey Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mount Morris, Michigan, serving grades PK-7 with a total enrollment of 328 students. The school is part of the Beecher Community School District. Despite increased per-student spending, Dailey Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dailey Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.5% to 71.9% over the past few years, well above the state average and surrounding schools. Academically, Dailey students perform well below state averages on the M-Step assessments across all grade levels and subjects, with only 19.6% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 16.3% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 38.9% and 35.1% respectively. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94-97%, indicating a very high-poverty student population.

While the nearby schools, such as Greater Heights Academy, Linden Charter Academy, and the schools in the Mt. Morris Consolidated district, also struggle academically, they do not perform as poorly as Dailey Elementary. Addressing the root causes of Dailey's challenges, such as attendance and resource allocation, will be crucial for driving meaningful progress at the school.
