Summary

Eastwood School is an elementary school located in Sturgis, Michigan, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 643 students. Despite being part of the Sturgis Public Schools district, Eastwood School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastwood School's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.9%. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.2% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Eastwood School serves a high-poverty student population, with 69.36% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, higher than the surrounding Sturgis Public Schools district.

Interestingly, the nearby elementary schools within the Sturgis Public Schools district, such as Congress School, Wall School, and Wenzel School, have similar demographic and performance characteristics to Eastwood School, suggesting that the challenges faced by Eastwood School may be systemic within the district. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that addresses the unique needs of the school and its student population.
