Summary

East Leroy Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 217 students in grades K-5 in the Athens Area Schools district in East Leroy, Michigan. The school has a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and its statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past decade, currently sitting at 752 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools.

East Leroy Elementary School's student performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages in English Language Arts, but the school struggles in certain areas, such as 4th grade Math, where only 11.4% of students were proficient or better, compared to the district and state averages of 11.4% and 39.4%, respectively. The school also faces a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.3% in 2022-2023 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average of 21.2%.
