Summary:

The Woodhaven-Brownstown School District serves approximately 5,296 students across 9 schools (Pre-K through 12th grade) in a predominantly middle-income suburban area south of Detroit, holding a solid 4-star state ranking at the 74th percentile.

For parents, the standout school is Yake Elementary School, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide (5 stars) with exceptional 4th grade math proficiency (71.3%) and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate at just 12.5%. By contrast, Gudith Elementary School spends a staggering $42,349 per student—more than 2.6 times the district average—yet only achieves a 55th percentile ranking, raising questions about spending efficiency. Among secondary schools, Woodhaven High School performs well with a 93.6% graduation rate and strong SAT reading scores (57.2% proficiency), while Brownstown Middle School shows improvement, now ranking at the 74th percentile. The most concerning outlier is Maple Grove Alternative High School, which has a 32.1% graduation rate, 67.8% chronic absenteeism, and an extraordinary 76:1 student-teacher ratio—suggesting it functions more as a credit recovery center than a traditional school.

A critical district-wide pattern emerges in mathematics: while elementary schools like Yake excel, proficiency drops dramatically by middle school (Woodhaven Upper Elementary falls below state averages in 5th and 6th grade math), and SAT math proficiency at Woodhaven High sits at just 30.8%. The district consistently outperforms state averages in English Language Arts across all grade levels, but math struggles intensify after 4th grade. Chronic absenteeism correlates strongly with outcomes—Yake's 12.5% rate versus Maple Grove's 67.8% illustrates this divide. For parents, the key takeaway is that Wegienka Elementary School, Erving Elementary School, and Bates Elementary School all offer solid mid-range options, but the district's biggest opportunity lies in addressing the math proficiency cliff between elementary and middle school.
