Summary

Woodview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Belding, Michigan, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 348 students. The school is part of the Belding Area School District, which is ranked 393 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Woodview Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state average in M-Step test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 24.4% compared to the state average of 38.9%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 30.8% in 2022-2023, which is well above the state average. Additionally, Woodview Elementary's special education students perform significantly worse than their peers, ranking in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools for this subgroup.

While Woodview Elementary's academic performance lags behind nearby schools, such as Lakes Elementary in the Rockford Public Schools district and the schools in the Greenville Public Schools district, the school's Hispanic students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20% of Michigan elementary schools for this subgroup. However, the school's overall declining statewide ranking suggests the need for a comprehensive review of its strategies and resource allocation to improve student learning and achievement.
