Summary

Breckenridge Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Breckenridge, Michigan, with 283 students. The school is part of the Breckenridge Community Schools district, which is ranked 256 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Breckenridge Elementary School has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the state and district averages. While the school performs above the state average in 5th grade ELA, Math, and Science, it lags behind in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and Math, suggesting potential room for improvement in the lower grades. The school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 59.72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Breckenridge Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in 2022-2023 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, an area of concern that the school should address.

When compared to nearby schools, such as KC Ling Elementary School, Hemlock Elementary School, and South Elementary School, Breckenridge Elementary School performs similarly or slightly better on state assessments, particularly in 5th grade subjects. However, the school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with the school struggling with the performance of female and white students, despite performing well for low-socioeconomic status students. The school should examine how it is allocating its resources and explore ways to optimize its spending to better support student learning and address these equity concerns.
