Summary:

The Grosse Pointe Public Schools district operates seven elementary schools serving Kindergarten through 4th grade in an affluent lakeshore community near Detroit, with a total enrollment of 2,433 students and a district-wide 5-star rating that places it in the 91st percentile of Michigan districts.

For parents, this district offers a wide range of experiences depending on which school your child attends. The clear standouts are Lewis Maire Elementary School and Richard Elementary School, both ranking in the 96th-97th percentile statewide with 5-star ratings. Lewis Maire posts exceptional 4th grade proficiency rates of 82.2% in ELA and 80% in Math—nearly double state averages—while Richard shows strong year-over-year improvement in 3rd grade Math. Kerby Elementary School and George Defer Elementary School also earn 5 stars, ranking in the 92nd percentile. John Monteith Elementary School and Ferry Elementary School are solid 4-star options in the 77th-79th percentile. However, Stevens T Mason Elementary School stands apart as a significant outlier, ranking only 851st statewide (43rd percentile) with a 2-star rating and 3rd grade Math proficiency at just 33.3% versus the district average of 61.7%.

The most striking finding is the spending paradox at Stevens T Mason, which receives $22,767 per student—$6,698 more than Kerby—and has the district's most favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3:1, yet achieves dramatically lower scores. This school also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 39.05%, compared to just 5.95% at Lewis Maire, highlighting how socioeconomic factors strongly influence outcomes even in an affluent district. Chronic absenteeism is a reliable predictor: the top three schools all keep rates below 10%, while Mason and Monteith both sit at 17.3%. Notably, the highest-performing schools spend near the district's lower range ($16,000-$16,600 per student), suggesting that demographics and school culture matter more than raw funding. Parents should also watch Kerby's declining trajectory—from the 99th to 92nd percentile over three years—even though it remains a strong school.
