Summary

Einstein Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Oak Park, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 393 students. The school is part of the Oak Park School District, which is ranked 600 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Einstein Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 1430 out of 1488 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

Einstein Elementary faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 63.6% to 72.7% in recent years, and very low academic performance, with only 7.9% of 3rd graders, 11.1% of 4th graders, and 19.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 38.9%, 42.4%, and 44.4%, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Einstein Elementary to higher-performing schools in the region, such as Bates Academy and Pembroke Academy, the differences in academic achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors are stark. These comparisons highlight the significant challenges faced by Einstein Elementary and the need for comprehensive, evidence-based interventions to improve student outcomes. The nearby schools in the Oak Park School District, such as Key Elementary and Pepper Elementary, also perform poorly on academic measures and have high rates of chronic absenteeism and low-income students, suggesting that the challenges faced by Einstein Elementary are not unique but are systemic issues within the district.
