Summary

Campus Elementary is a public elementary school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, serving 233 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Grand Rapids Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Campus Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.5% to 69.7% over the past few years, far exceeding the district and state averages. Academically, the school's performance on M-Step tests is also significantly lower than the district and state, with only 9.3% of 4th-grade students and 10.8% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 23.3% and 23.6% for the district, and 42.4% and 44.4% for the state. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.71% to 97.41%, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Campus Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, such as Martin Luther King Leadership Academy and Congress Elementary, the data shows that these schools also struggle academically, with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. However, when comparing Campus Elementary to higher-performing schools outside the district, such as Wealthy School and Lakeside School in the East Grand Rapids Public Schools district, the academic performance gap becomes even more pronounced, with these schools significantly outperforming Campus Elementary despite having lower per-student spending.
