Botsford Elementary School

Summary:

Botsford Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Livonia, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 342. The school is part of the Clarenceville School District, which is ranked 493 out of 610 school districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Botsford Elementary faces several challenges, including a higher percentage of White students (54.39%) compared to the surrounding schools, a significant increase in chronic absenteeism from 9.6% in 2020-2021 to 52.3% in 2021-2022, and consistently lower academic performance on M-Step tests compared to state and district averages. The school also has a high percentage of students (75.15%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. While Botsford's spending per student has increased from $10,553 in 2019-2020 to $14,713 in 2022-2023, its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 1007 out of 1533 Michigan elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1103 out of 1486 in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, Botsford Elementary's performance is generally lower than Grandview Elementary School, which is also part of the Clarenceville School District. However, Botsford's performance is better than some of the other nearby schools, such as Beech Elementary and Redford Service Learning Academy Campus, which serve higher-poverty student populations. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism at Botsford Elementary could be a key focus area for improvement, as it may be a contributing factor to the school's declining academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
