Summary

Charlevoix Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 405 students in grades K-6 in Charlevoix, Michigan, which is part of the Charlevoix Public Schools district. The school consistently outperforms the state average on M-Step tests across grades and subjects, with 59.4% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 38.9%, and 59.6% of 5th graders proficient in science versus 40.3% statewide. Charlevoix Elementary also ranks in the top 25% of Michigan elementary schools for its special education student performance and the top 15% for the performance of its low-socioeconomic status students.

In comparison to nearby schools, Lincoln School in Public Schools of Petoskey has stronger math scores but lags behind Charlevoix in ELA, while East Jordan Elementary in East Jordan Public Schools has lower overall performance. However, Charlevoix Elementary's female students consistently outperform the male students, suggesting the school may need to examine strategies to better support the academic achievement of male students.

While Charlevoix Elementary spends around $17,000 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby magnet schools, the school should continue to monitor and address any achievement gaps, as well as work to reduce chronic absenteeism rates that have ranged from 21.1% to 30.8% in recent years. Overall, Charlevoix Elementary appears to be a high-quality school option for the Charlevoix community.
