Summary

Schuchard Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Sterling Heights, Michigan, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 624 students. The school is part of the Utica Community Schools district, which is ranked 155 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schuchard Elementary School faces several academic challenges. Its M-Step test scores are generally lower than the Utica Community Schools district and the state of Michigan averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 31.6% to 50%, compared to the district's 46.5% to 53.6% and the state's 38.9% to 44.4%. Similarly, in Math, Schuchard's proficiency rates ranged from 25.6% to 50.5%, compared to the district's 36.3% to 50.6% and the state's 31.5% to 42.7%. Additionally, Schuchard has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, with a rate of 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state's 19.6%.

When comparing Schuchard Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Troy Union Elementary and Wass Elementary, it becomes evident that Schuchard's academic performance is generally lower. These schools, both part of the Troy School District, consistently outperform Schuchard in M-Step test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite Schuchard's relatively high per-student spending of $15,321 in the 2023-2024 school year, this higher funding does not seem to translate into significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's performance.
