Summary:
The 49067 zip code in Michigan is home to a single elementary school, Marcellus Elementary School, which serves students in the Marcellus Community Schools district. While the school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the state average and others falling short, it faces the unique challenge of serving a high-poverty student population, with 67.8% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Marcellus Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 450 and 519 out of 1,470-1,488 Michigan elementary schools over the past three school years, indicating room for improvement. The school's performance on M-STEP assessments is uneven, with 3rd grade students scoring significantly above the state average in both English Language Arts and Math, but 4th and 5th grade students struggling to meet the state benchmarks in those subjects.
Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $14,397 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.9, which is slightly higher than the recommended range, the inconsistent academic performance suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population. By focusing on these areas, Marcellus Elementary School can work to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for the children in the 49067 zip code.
