Summary

Greenfield Elementary School in Beverly Hills, MI, is a mid-sized public school serving 248 students in grades PK-5 within the highly regarded Birmingham Public Schools district, which ranks in the 97th percentile statewide.

Greenfield stands out for its exceptional work with African American students, who have ranked in the 93rd-94th percentile statewide for three consecutive years—a remarkable achievement that outpaces the school's overall 87th percentile ranking. The school also maintains remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 8.0%, which is 3.5 times better than the state average and even better than its district peers. This is especially notable given that Greenfield serves a more economically diverse population than its immediate neighbors, with 26.2% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch compared to just 4.7% at Pierce Elementary School and 8.5% at Beverly Elementary School. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $24,908 per pupil—37% more than Pierce—which supports a favorable 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio.

While Greenfield's overall scores trail its closest district peers, its post-pandemic improvement trajectory is impressive, climbing from the 66th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 87th percentile today. The school shows relative strengths in science and social studies, outperforming state averages by 18 and 17 points respectively. However, 5th grade math proficiency has been a persistent challenge, with only 51.2% of students proficient—a figure identical to Beverly Elementary, suggesting a possible district-wide curriculum issue rather than a school-specific problem. For families seeking a diverse, well-resourced elementary school with strong community engagement and proven success in closing achievement gaps, Greenfield offers a compelling option within the Birmingham district.
