Summary:
The city of Flushing, Michigan is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Flushing Community Schools district. The schools in this area demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with some standout elementary schools and opportunities for improvement at the secondary level.
Seymour Elementary School and Central Elementary School consistently perform above the district and state averages in academic proficiency across multiple grade levels and subjects. In contrast, Springview Elementary School and Elms Elementary School lag behind, suggesting opportunities for the district to identify and share best practices from the higher-performing schools.
At the secondary level, Flushing High School has shown improvement in its state ranking, moving from 395th in 2023-2024 to 388th in 2024-2025 among Michigan high schools. However, the high schools in the district, including Raider Virtual Academy, have lower proficiency rates compared to the state, particularly in mathematics. The district's high rates of chronic absenteeism and significant population of students from low-income families may be contributing factors to the overall academic outcomes.
