Best Public Schools in Shelby Township, MI

Summary:

The city of Shelby Township, Michigan is home to 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Utica Community Schools district. This district is ranked 166 out of 610 in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in Shelby Township are Eisenhower High School, which ranks in the top 15% of Michigan high schools and maintains a 4-star rating, with a 96.8% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on standardized tests. Crissman Elementary School is another top performer, ranking in the top 10% of Michigan elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating, with exceptional student achievement in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The two middle schools, Malow Junior High School and Shelby Junior High School, also stand out, both ranking in the top 15% of Michigan middle schools and maintaining 4-star ratings.

However, the data also reveals a stark contrast in performance between the top-performing schools and those struggling, such as West Utica Elementary, which has only 20.5% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as student demographics and socioeconomic status, may be playing a significant role in student outcomes. Addressing equity issues, improving attendance, and sharing best practices from high-performing schools could be key focus areas for the district to drive continued academic success.
