Summary

Attwood School is an elementary school located in Lansing, Michigan, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 462 students. It is part of the Lansing Public School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Attwood School has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Michigan elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Attwood School significantly underperforms the Lansing Public School District and the state of Michigan in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 14.6% of 3rd graders at Attwood were proficient in ELA, compared to 20.6% in the district and 38.9% statewide. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 80.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, 90.91% of Attwood's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Attwood School's performance is significantly lower than the nearby schools within the Lansing Public School District, such as Wexford Montessori Magnet School, Lyons School, and Dwight Rich School of the Arts. These schools, while still underperforming the state average, have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Attwood School, ranging from $16,461 to $19,427 per year, the school's poor performance suggests that significant interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes.
