Summary:

The East Grand Rapids Public Schools district is home to three exceptional elementary schools: Breton Downs School, Wealthy School, and Lakeside School. These schools consistently rank among the top elementary institutions in Michigan, with Lakeside and Wealthy Schools placing in the top 18 and 14, respectively, for the 2024-2025 school year.

All three schools boast impressive academic achievements, with the majority of students scoring proficient or better on state assessments in core subjects. The district as a whole is ranked 4th out of 613 districts in Michigan and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 17.9 to 19.8, and spend between $11,692 and $12,716 per student, which is higher than the state average.

Despite the overall high performance, the schools share a common challenge of elevated chronic absenteeism rates, with all three reporting a 29.5% rate, which is higher than the state average. This is an area the district may want to investigate and address to ensure continued academic success for all students. Overall, the East Grand Rapids Public Schools district has established a strong reputation for providing an exceptional educational experience for its elementary students.
