Summary:
The South Lyon Community Schools district is home to 8 elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 346 to 599 students, and they demonstrate a range of academic performance and diversity.
Two standout schools in the district are William A Pearson Elementary, a public magnet school that consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Michigan, and Sharon J Hardy Elementary School, which also performs very well and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Academically, the schools in the district generally outperform the state averages in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, and M-Step/Science, with some schools like William A Pearson and Sharon J Hardy standing out for their exceptional results.
The racial and economic diversity of the schools varies, with some having predominantly white student populations and others being more diverse. However, the data suggests that the district is able to support the academic success of students from diverse backgrounds, as there does not appear to be a clear correlation between racial or economic status and academic performance. The district may want to explore ways to address the issue of chronic absenteeism, which ranges from 10.0% to 22.2% across the schools, as this can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.
