Summary

Carrollton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Saginaw, Michigan, serving 704 students in grades PK-5. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, it has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Michigan elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Carrollton Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, student attendance, and socioeconomic factors. Its students' M-Step test scores are well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.2% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.9%. The school also has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.5% to 43.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 92.05% of Carrollton Elementary students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Carrollton Elementary School to nearby schools in the Saginaw area, the academic performance gap becomes even more apparent. For instance, Hemmeter Elementary School, a public magnet school in the Saginaw Township Community Schools district, consistently outperforms Carrollton Elementary School by a wide margin, with over 80% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math.
