Summary

Schall Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Caro, Michigan, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 293 students. The school is part of the Caro Community Schools district, which is ranked 399 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schall Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 31.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math around 30-35%, compared to the state averages of 38.9% and 42.7%, respectively. Additionally, Schall Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 70.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Schall Elementary School to other nearby schools, such as Meachum Elementary, Reese Elementary School, and Cass City Elementary, it becomes evident that Schall is underperforming compared to its peers, with higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Schall Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from being ranked in the top half of Michigan elementary schools in 2016-2017 to the bottom third in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school's performance is not improving and may be an area of concern for the district.
