Summary:
The 48034 zip code in Southfield, Michigan is home to a single school, Adlai Stevenson Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the Southfield Public School District and state of Michigan averages, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement.
Adlai Stevenson Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates were 43.4% in ELA, 14.5% in Math, 37.3% in Science, and 28.9% in Social Studies, compared to the district averages of 35.5%, 13.4%, 24.9%, and 18.2%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (75.5%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student population, which may present additional challenges in terms of student support and resources.
The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year is also a concern and may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $17,970, the school's underperformance suggests the need for targeted interventions and more effective allocation of resources to improve student outcomes.
