Summary

Marie C Graham Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Harrison Township, Michigan. With a student population of 326, the school is part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, which is ranked 275 out of 613 districts in the state.

While Marie C Graham Elementary School's academic performance on M-Step assessments is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in math, the school performs better in certain subgroups, such as African American students and male students, where it ranks in the top 100-400 schools in Michigan. The school also faces challenges common to many schools serving a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with a chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 24.9% to 30.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's increased spending per student, from $10,523 in 2020-2021 to $18,491 in 2023-2024, and lower student-teacher ratio, which has improved from 14.9 in 2021-2022 to 12.0 in 2023-2024, may be contributing factors to its relative success in supporting specific student groups.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Tenniswood Elementary, South River Elementary, and Donald J Yacks Elementary, Marie C Graham Elementary School generally performs lower on academic measures, but these nearby schools also have higher chronic absenteeism rates and a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, similar to Marie C Graham Elementary School.
