Summary:
The East Grand Rapids Public Schools district is home to three exceptional elementary schools: Wealthy School, Breton Downs School, and Lakeside School. These schools consistently outperform state and district averages on standardized tests, with Lakeside School ranking 14th out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools and Breton Downs School ranking 31st.
Lakeside School stands out with its exceptional academic performance, with over 70% proficiency in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies across grades 3-5. Breton Downs School also impresses with its high proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. Both schools have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, indicating a strong commitment to student engagement and attendance.
While the schools serve a predominantly white and affluent student population, the data suggests that the district is providing a high-quality education to its students. Understanding the factors that contribute to the schools' success, as well as exploring ways to promote greater diversity and inclusion, could provide valuable insights for the district and other schools in the region.
