Summary

Columbiaville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the LakeVille Community School District. With 355 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Columbiaville Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.9% of 3rd graders and 26% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 38.9% and 42.4%, respectively.

The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.2% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, a large proportion of the student population comes from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 57.14% to 65.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, notably higher than the state average. While the school's spending per student, between $11,675 and $14,670, is higher than the state average, it is lower than some of the nearby higher-performing schools, such as Hill Elementary and Chatfield School.

The data analysis reveals that Columbiaville Elementary School is a low-performing school that is struggling across multiple metrics, including academic achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to improve student outcomes and bring the school's performance more in line with nearby higher-performing schools within the LakeVille Community School District.
