Summary

Capac Elementary School serves 326 students in Pre-K through 6th grade in the rural community of Capac, Michigan, and is part of the Capac Community Schools district.

Capac Elementary shows genuine strengths in the early grades. In 3rd grade, students meet or exceed state averages in both reading and math, with math proficiency (51.4%) notably surpassing the state average (42.9%). However, the school faces a significant challenge: academic proficiency declines sharply as students advance. By 6th grade, only 12.1% of students are proficient in English Language Arts—a dramatic drop from the 37.8% proficiency seen in 3rd grade. This pattern is not typical of nearby schools. For example, Memphis Elementary School actually sees 6th grade reading proficiency (52.8%) exceed its 3rd grade performance (40%). Even Brown City Elementary School, which serves a similar demographic population, maintains consistent proficiency rates across grade levels. The school's overall ranking places it in the 35th percentile statewide, while nearby schools like Yale Elementary School (91st percentile) and John F FarrellEmmett Elementary School (87th percentile) perform substantially better.

Chronic absenteeism may be a contributing factor. Capac Elementary reports that 25.5% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025—nearly double the rate at Avoca Elementary School (11.9%) and Orville C Krause Elementary School (8.9%). This rate is also significantly higher than the district average of 15.5%. The school maintains a student-teacher ratio of 17.1, which is higher than most neighboring schools, including Dryden Elementary School (9.7) and Memphis Elementary (12.8), suggesting students may receive less individual attention. While the school has demonstrated it can improve—chronic absenteeism dropped to 13.0% in 2022-2023—the combination of declining upper-grade performance and attendance challenges points to areas where targeted intervention could help Capac Elementary build on its early-grade successes.
