Summary:

The city of Macomb, Michigan, is served by 15 public schools spanning elementary through high school grades, with a total enrollment of approximately 11,157 students across four districts: Chippewa Valley Schools, L'Anse Creuse Public Schools, Utica Community Schools, and the Macomb Independent School District (Isd).

For parents, the standout schools in this area are clear. Iroquois Middle School is the top middle school, ranking in the 84th percentile with 8th-grade PSAT English proficiency at 80.6% and math at 50%, both well above state averages. At the elementary level, Sequoyah Elementary School leads with an 80th percentile ranking and 4th-grade ELA proficiency of 65.9%, far exceeding district norms. Among high schools, Dakota High School and High School North both post exceptional graduation rates (96.5% and 97.6%, respectively) and outperform state SAT averages in reading and math. The most improved school is Atwood Elementary School, which climbed from the 63rd to 75th percentile in three years. Conversely, Fox Elementary School struggles significantly, with 5th-grade science proficiency at just 22.2% versus the state's 40%.

Key takeaways for families include a strong correlation between socioeconomic factors and performance—schools like Shawnee Elementary School and Sequoyah have low free/reduced lunch rates (around 19-20%) and high achievement, while Ojibwa Elementary School and Fox, with higher need (43-51%), lag behind. Chronic absenteeism is also telling: Beck Centennial Elementary School (7.5%) and Sequoyah (10.2%) excel, while Glen H Peters School (56.9%) is a specialized alternative school not comparable to others. Notably, higher spending doesn't guarantee better results—Cheyenne Elementary School spends $17,255 per student yet ranks in the 68th percentile, while Iroquois Middle spends just $12,920 and ranks highest. Overall, Chippewa Valley Schools shows wider performance gaps than L'Anse Creuse Public Schools, which offers more consistent results across its schools.
