Summary

Randels Elementary School in Flint, MI, is a mid-sized PK-5 school within the Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools district, serving 311 students in a community where about 85% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

While Randels' overall state ranking (26th percentile) sits below district and state averages, the school shows a remarkable strength in one key area: its African American students consistently perform in the 57th–68th percentile statewide over the last three years, earning a 3-star rating in the most recent year. This stands in sharp contrast to the school's overall performance and to the results for other student groups, suggesting that certain teaching strategies are working exceptionally well for this population. Another bright spot is 4th-grade math, where 37.9% of students scored proficient—actually beating the district average of 32.2%. The school has also made significant progress on attendance, cutting its chronic absenteeism rate from a peak of 57.2% in 2021-2022 down to 30.7% in 2024-2025. That rate is still above the state average (27.9%), but it's far better than many nearby schools like Eisenhower School (63.8%) or Greater Heights Academy (65.1%).

Compared to its direct district counterpart, Dye Elementary School, Randels actually spends more per student ($17,344 vs. $16,826) yet doesn't see higher overall test scores—a reminder that funding alone doesn't drive results. The school is still recovering from a steep "pandemic dip" that dropped it to the 7th percentile in 2020-2021, and its current ranking remains below its pre-pandemic level of 43rd percentile. Nearby Swartz Creek Community Schools serve a more affluent population (roughly 44–57% low-income) and post higher scores, but Randels' success with its African American students—a result not seen in those wealthier schools—suggests that targeted, effective approaches exist within the building that could be expanded to benefit all students.
