Summary

Angling Road Elementary School is a public elementary school in Portage, Michigan, serving 363 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Portage Public Schools district, which is ranked 95 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Angling Road Elementary School has consistently performed better than the state average on M-Step assessments in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies across grades 3-5. However, the school's performance is slightly lower than the Portage Public Schools district average in most subject areas and grade levels. The school also experiences higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state and district averages, ranging from 13.0% to 30.8% over the past few years. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 26.58% to 33.61% over the past few years, which is higher than the district average.

Compared to nearby schools in the Portage Public Schools district, Moorsbridge Elementary and 12th Street Elementary appear to be the highest-performing schools, with stronger test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Angling Road Elementary School's lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending do not seem to be directly translating into higher academic performance compared to the district. Addressing the school's challenges with chronic absenteeism and aligning its curriculum and instructional practices with the higher-achieving schools in the district could help Angling Road Elementary School enhance its educational outcomes.
