Summary

Douglas Road Elementary School in Lambertville, MI, is a K-5 school serving 553 students within the highly rated Bedford Public Schools district, which ranks in the 86th percentile statewide.

Douglas Road stands out most dramatically for its exceptional student attendance. With a chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.1% for the 2024-2025 school year, it far outperforms the district average of 8.3% and is a fraction of the state average of 27.9%. This is particularly striking when compared to nearby schools like Custer Elementary School (31.3%) and Mason Central School (25.7%). Even within its own district, Douglas Road's attendance is dramatically better than Jackman Road Elementary School's 15.8% rate. This suggests a highly engaged school culture where students are consistently present and ready to learn. The school also excels at supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds—this subgroup ranked in the 77th percentile statewide in the most recent year, and as high as the 83rd percentile in 2023-2024, demonstrating a strong commitment to closing achievement gaps. Male students also perform notably well, ranking in the 79th percentile.

However, the school presents a mixed picture academically. While 3rd and 4th-grade scores are generally strong, 5th-grade performance is a persistent weak point with dramatic year-to-year swings. For example, 5th-grade ELA proficiency dropped to 38.8% in 2024-2025—a staggering 18 points below the district average—and 5th-grade math proficiency has fluctuated between 33% and 48.4% over recent years. This suggests a potential transition challenge as students approach middle school. After a dip to the 63rd percentile in 2024-2025, the school rebounded strongly to the 78th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. While it is currently the lowest-ranked of the three Bedford elementary schools (behind Jackman Road at the 86th percentile and Monroe Road Elementary School at the 81st), its outstanding attendance and recent upward trajectory make it a school with strong foundational strengths to build upon.
