Summary

Rawsonville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Ypsilanti, Michigan, serving 319 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 and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rawsonville Elementary consistently performs below state and district averages in academic proficiency, with only 24.6% of 3rd graders and 22.6% of 4th graders proficient in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 38.9% and 42.4% statewide, respectively. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 37.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Rawsonville Elementary has a very high percentage of students (around 80%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Holmes Elementary and Ypsilanti International Elementary, Rawsonville Elementary performs significantly worse, with lower proficiency rates, higher chronic absenteeism, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. Despite increased per-student spending, from $13,902 in 2020-2021 to $19,045 in 2023-2024, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting that factors beyond just resources may be contributing to the school's challenges.
