Summary

Edgemont Elementary School is a public elementary school in Belleville, Michigan, serving 374 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Van Buren Public Schools district, which is ranked 406 out of 613 districts in the state.

Edgemont Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Michigan elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments. Only around 20-30% of students meet or exceed standards in English Language Arts and Math. The school's performance has remained stagnant or declined in recent years. Edgemont also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 29.5% to 37.2%, significantly higher than state and district averages. The school serves a population with greater economic challenges, with 57.81% to 65.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, Savage Road Elementary School, located less than a mile from Edgemont, consistently outperforms Edgemont on academic assessments and has a higher school ranking. Savage Road also has a lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and a lower chronic absenteeism rate. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the performance differences between the two schools. Addressing the specific needs of Edgemont's diverse student population and the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism may be crucial for driving academic progress at the school.
