Summary

Woodview Elementary School in Belding, MI, serves 372 students in grades 3-5 within the Belding Area School District, a district ranked in the 39th percentile statewide. The school has historically earned a 2-star rating, with overall state rankings fluctuating between the 28th and 45th percentiles over the past decade.

One of the most notable findings is that Woodview's Hispanic students are performing exceptionally well, ranking in the 69th-83rd percentile statewide over the past three years (earning 4-star ratings), while White students rank in the 16th-19th percentile and Special Education students rank in the bottom 1st-7th percentile. This wide gap suggests that specific instructional strategies may be effectively supporting one population while other groups are not receiving the same level of support. Additionally, 5th grade math is a clear strength—39% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, exceeding the state average of 32.2%, a pattern that has held for several years. The school has also made remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 34.6% in 2021-2022 to 22.0% in 2024-2025, now below both the district (23.9%) and state (27.9%) averages—even as the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch has climbed to 67.2%.

When compared to nearby schools, the picture is mixed. Lakes Elementary (Rockford) and Murray Lake Elementary (Lowell) both rank in the 93rd-95th percentile with 5-star ratings, though they serve far fewer low-income students. More telling is the comparison to Cedar Crest Elementary in Greenville, which has a similar poverty rate (69.0%) but ranks in the 74th percentile with proficiency rates roughly 20-30 percentage points higher across most subjects. Woodview spends $16,721 per student—more than several higher-performing schools—yet this investment hasn't translated into proportional academic gains. The school's only same-district comparison, Ellis Elementary (grades K-2), has nearly identical demographics and spending, suggesting these challenges are systemic to the district. Encouragingly, tracking student cohorts shows that while students arrive significantly behind state averages, they make meaningful progress in ELA during their time at Woodview.
