Summary

Ardmore Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a student population of 383, the school is part of the Lakeview Public Schools district, which is ranked 242 out of 613 school districts in the state.

Ardmore Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in M-Step test scores for English Language Arts and Math across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, 66.1% of 3rd graders at Ardmore were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.6% for the district and 38.9% for the state. Similarly, 62.7% of 3rd graders at Ardmore were proficient or better in Math, compared to 47% for the district and 42.7% for the state. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.2% to 31.9% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.

Ardmore Elementary School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30.22% to 34.91% over the past few years, which is lower than the surrounding Lakeview Public Schools district. The school also has a student-teacher ratio of around 20, which is slightly higher than the surrounding schools in the district. While the school's consistent academic performance is a positive attribute, the high chronic absenteeism rates and the potential for improvement in the student-teacher ratio are areas that the school and district should address to further enhance the learning environment for its students.
