Summary

Hiller Elementary School is a public elementary school in Madison Heights, Michigan, serving 257 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lamphere Public Schools district, which is ranked 284 out of 613 districts in the state.

Hiller Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.0% to 32.4% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Simonds Elementary (29.5%) and Edmonson Elementary (29.5%). Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally lower than the Lamphere Public Schools district and the state of Michigan averages. Hiller Elementary also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.72% to 80.54% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.5 to 13.5 over the past few years, and a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $19,085 to $21,448 over the past few years, Hiller Elementary School's academic performance does not seem to reflect these advantages. When compared to the nearby schools within the Lamphere Public Schools district, Hiller Elementary School generally performs worse on academic measures, such as test scores and school rankings. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates and free/reduced lunch rates suggest that it may be serving a more disadvantaged student population, which could contribute to its lower academic performance.
