Summary:

The city of Spring Arbor, Michigan is home to two elementary schools: Bean Elementary School and Warner Elementary School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Western School District.

Bean Elementary School stands out as a particularly strong performer, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Michigan elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years. The school outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, with an impressive 75.5% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025.

While Warner Elementary School also maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, it has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43.57%) compared to Bean Elementary School (33.17%). This suggests a more economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the school's slightly lower performance in some areas, such as 5th-grade Math proficiency. Both schools, however, have opportunities to address their high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.
