Summary

Dimondale Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 304 students in grades K-4 in Dimondale, Michigan, which is part of the Holt Public Schools district.

Dimondale Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores across various subjects and grade levels, and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. For example, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 39.2%, compared to the district's 41.9% and the state's 38.9%, while the 5th grade math proficiency rate was only 16.1%, compared to the district's 20.1% and the state's 32.9%. Additionally, the school's per-student spending has increased significantly, from $12,336 in 2020-2021 to $33,598 in 2023-2024, but this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, Dimondale Elementary School generally underperforms. Horizon Elementary, which is in the same district, outperforms Dimondale Elementary in both ELA and math proficiency rates across multiple grade levels. Similarly, Lansing Charter Academy, a public charter school, also outperforms Dimondale Elementary in most academic areas. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as attendance and resource allocation, may be necessary to improve student achievement.
