Summary

CLK Elementary School is a public elementary school in Calumet, Michigan, serving 504 students in grades K-5 and part of the Public Schools of Calumet Laurium & Keweenaw district.

CLK Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently scoring above the state average on M-Step tests across various grade levels and subjects. In 2024-2025, 54.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.9%, and 56.8% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 42.7% statewide. The school also supports its special education and low-income student populations well, with both groups performing significantly better than state averages. However, CLK faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which reached 30.8% in 2022-2023, though still below the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, South Range Elementary and Houghton Elementary have outperformed CLK in academic achievement, with higher M-Step scores. But CLK serves a higher percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, indicating it is supporting a more economically disadvantaged population. Additionally, CLK's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are generally lower than those of the nearby high-performing schools, suggesting the need for additional resources to further improve student outcomes.
