Summary

Bath Elementary School in Bath, MI, serves 473 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Bath Community Schools district, a mid-sized school where nearly half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch.

Bath Elementary sits in the middle of the pack statewide, currently ranking in the 44th percentile. Its biggest differentiator from nearby schools is the economic profile of its families. While neighboring districts like Haslett Public Schools and East Lansing School District have free/reduced lunch rates between 20-36%, Bath's rate is 49.47%. This gap often shows up in test scores—for example, in 3rd-grade math, Bath's proficiency was 35.6%, while nearby schools like Murphy Elementary School and Robert L Green Elementary ranged from 48.8% to 71.9%. The school also spends less per student ($12,143) than its higher-performing neighbors, who spend between $13,959 and $17,973, despite serving a higher-needs population.

There are bright spots worth celebrating. Bath's 5th-grade science scores are a standout—50.7% proficiency, which is 10.7 points above the state average and competitive with top local schools. The school also shows exceptional results with its Hispanic students, who ranked in the 71st percentile statewide in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. However, there are concerns. Math proficiency in 5th grade has dropped sharply from 38.9% in 2023-2024 to just 16% in 2025-2026, now half the state average. Chronic absenteeism, while better than the state average at 23%, has been creeping upward and is higher than at schools like Vera Ralya Elementary School (16.6%). For parents, this is a school with clear strengths in science and specific student groups, but one that faces real challenges in math and resource allocation that deserve attention.
