Elementary Schools in Byron Area Schools

Summary:

The Byron Area Schools district has one elementary school, Byron Area Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school is located in the Byron area and has a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.

Byron Area Elementary School has a SchoolDigger rating of 3 out of 5 stars, and its statewide ranking has improved over the past three years, moving from 722 out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 621 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance varies across different subjects and grade levels, with 5th-grade students exceeding the state averages in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies, but 3rd and 4th-grade students struggling in ELA and Math compared to the state averages.

The school serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (63.32%), which may contribute to the academic performance challenges in the lower grades. The district is investing resources in the school, with per-student spending higher than the state average and a student-teacher ratio slightly above the recommended range. However, there may be opportunities to optimize the allocation of these resources to address the academic performance gaps and support student success across all grade levels.
