Summary:
Whitmore Lake Public School District has only one elementary school, Whitmore Lake Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 331 out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 606 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. While the school's performance on standardized tests varies across grade levels and subject areas, with most grades performing below the state average, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1 and higher per-student spending of $19,696 compared to the state average.
Whitmore Lake Elementary School has a student population of 389, with a high percentage of students (45.76%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic performance. The school's uneven academic performance, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average while others fall significantly below, indicates a need for targeted interventions and curriculum improvements.
Overall, Whitmore Lake Public School District has only one elementary school, and its performance is mixed, with a declining statewide ranking and varying academic outcomes across grade levels and subject areas. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending may be positive factors, but the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests the need for targeted strategies to support student learning and improve overall school performance.
