Summary

Jessie Loomis School is an elementary school located in Saginaw, Michigan, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 334 students. The school is part of the Saginaw School District of the City, which is ranked 453 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jessie Loomis School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance on M-Step tests compared to state and district averages, and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.9%. The school's performance in math and science is also significantly below state and district levels. While the district is investing more resources in the school, with per-student spending increasing from $13,532 in 2020-2021 to $18,958 in 2023-2024, the academic outcomes have not yet shown substantial improvement.

When comparing Jessie Loomis School to nearby schools in the Saginaw School District, it becomes clear that the school is performing significantly worse than its peers. For instance, Handley School, a magnet school within the same district, has much higher test scores, with 80.4% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 92.86% proficient or better in Math in 2024-2025. Jessie Loomis School's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, from 1372 out of 1408 Michigan elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1309 out of 1488 in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school is falling behind its peers across the state.
