Summary

Cedar View Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Cedar Springs, Michigan, with an enrollment of 442 students. The school is part of the Cedar Springs Public Schools district and has generally been ranked in the middle range of Michigan elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years.

Cedar View Elementary School's student performance on state assessments (M-Step) is generally on par with or slightly below the state and district averages, with some variations across grade levels and subject areas. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math for 4th and 5th grades were 40.4%, 49.4%, 44%, and 43.4%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 42.4%, 44.4%, 39.4%, and 32.9%. However, the school's performance in Science and Social Studies for 5th grade was stronger, with proficiency rates of 53.2% and 31.1%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 40.3% and 29.8%. Notably, Rockford Spanish Immersion and Valley View Elementary, which are part of the Rockford Public Schools district, have outperformed Cedar View Elementary School, particularly in ELA and Math proficiency rates.

One area of concern for Cedar View Elementary School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.9% in 2022-2023 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 42.99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's performance for students with special education needs has also been consistently low, ranking in the bottom quartile of Michigan elementary schools. These factors may contribute to the school's overall performance and warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying challenges.
