Summary

Douglas Road Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lambertville, Michigan, serving 571 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Bedford Public Schools district, which is ranked 123 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Douglas Road Elementary has shown mixed academic performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 295 to 609 out of around 1,400-1,500 Michigan elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math were generally higher than the state averages, but lower than the district averages, especially in 5th grade. Compared to nearby schools in the Bedford Public Schools district, Douglas Road's academic performance is generally on par or slightly lower, with Jackman Road Elementary and Monroe Road Elementary outperforming Douglas Road in most grade levels and subject areas. However, the school's Hispanic students have performed particularly well, ranking in the top 25% of Michigan elementary schools in recent years.

One significant challenge for Douglas Road Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.0% to 30.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This issue is not unique to Douglas Road, as the nearby Jackman Road Elementary and Monroe Road Elementary schools have also reported similar high chronic absenteeism rates. Despite these challenges, the school has seen an increase in per-student spending, from $10,303 in 2020-2021 to $13,203 in 2023-2024, indicating that the school and district are investing more resources into supporting student learning.
