Summary

Randels Elementary School is a public elementary school in Flint, Michigan, serving 340 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools district, which is ranked 445 out of 613 districts in the state.

Randels Elementary School consistently performs below state and district averages in academic proficiency, with only 16.7% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to state averages of 38.9% and 42.7%, respectively. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.5% to 46.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Randels has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 89.12% to 91.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Dye Elementary within the same district, Randels Elementary consistently performs worse academically. However, the school's spending per student, ranging from $13,334 to $15,903, is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student engagement, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
