Summary:
The five public schools in Hartland, Michigan, part of the highly rated Hartland Consolidated Schools district, serve roughly 3,700 students across elementary, middle, and high school grades in a predominantly low-poverty suburban area northwest of Detroit. This district holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 91st percentile statewide, with every school scoring well above Michigan averages in all subjects and grade levels.
Among the elementary schools, Creekside Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking 61st out of 1,492 schools statewide (96th percentile) and posting the district’s lowest chronic absenteeism rate at just 9.2%—less than half the district average and a third of the state’s 27.9%. It also has the highest per-student spending ($14,947), suggesting additional resources. Hartland Round Elementary School shines specifically in math, with 80.2% of 4th graders proficient in 2025-2026—the highest among all elementary schools and an improvement over the prior year. Meanwhile, Hartland Village Elementary School shows a potential concern: only 58.2% of its 4th graders were proficient in math, a sharp drop from 69.9% the year before and well below the district’s 70.6% average, even though its 3rd-grade math and 4th-grade ELA scores remain strong.
At the secondary level, Hartland High School excels in student outcomes, with a 97.7% graduation rate, a 0.2% dropout rate, and strong SAT scores (69.6% proficient in Reading/Writing), making it a launchpad for college readiness. Hartland Middle School at Ore Creek is the district’s relative weak spot, with the highest chronic absenteeism (18.9%) and a state ranking that slipped from 50th to 66th, though its test scores still far exceed state averages. Overall, this district demonstrates a consistent culture of high achievement, with low poverty rates and strong attendance driving exceptional results across all five schools.
