Summary

Delta Center Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lansing, Michigan, serving 534 students in grades K-4 and part of the Grand Ledge Public Schools district.

Delta Center Elementary has shown strong academic performance, with 3rd and 4th-grade students consistently outperforming the state average in both English Language Arts and Math on the M-Step assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, over 50% of 3rd and 4th-grade students were proficient or better in these subjects, compared to the state averages of around 40%. However, the school has faced challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.7% in 2021-2022 to 30.8% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Willow Ridge Elementary has consistently outperformed Delta Center Elementary on academic measures, while the higher-spending Lansing Public School District schools have struggled with lower overall performance. Delta Center Elementary's equity challenges, with disparities in performance between student subgroups, suggest potential areas for improvement that the school and district may need to address.
