Summary

Pembroke Elementary School in Troy, MI, is a public school serving 324 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the highly-regarded Birmingham Public Schools district, which ranks in the top 3% of Michigan districts.

Pembroke is a consistently high-performing school, earning 5-star ratings and ranking in the top 10% of Michigan elementary schools for the past five years. Its most recent ranking places it at 129th out of 1,492 schools statewide (91st percentile), following a peak performance the prior year when it ranked 79th (95th percentile). What truly sets Pembroke apart is its remarkable success with all students. The school has a significantly higher percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds (14.8% eligible for free/reduced lunch) compared to nearby Birmingham schools like Pierce Elementary School (4.7%) and Quarton Elementary (2.4%). Despite this, Pembroke ranks in the 85th percentile statewide for supporting its low-SES students—a clear sign of school effectiveness rather than just a privileged student body. The school also shows a distinctive strength in 5th-grade math, with 80.4% proficiency in 2024-2025, dramatically outpacing the district average (62.4%) and nearby schools like Beverly Elementary School (48.9%) and Greenfield Elementary School (41.5%).

Pembroke invests heavily in its students, spending $22,891 per pupil with a low 14:1 student-teacher ratio—higher spending and smaller classes than peer schools like Pierce ($18,135, 16.1:1) and Bemis Elementary School ($15,091, 17.6:1). Chronic absenteeism is a non-issue at just 9.6%, far below the state average of 27.9%. The school's trajectory over the past decade shows steady improvement from a 3-star rating in 2016-2017 to its current consistent 5-star status. While there was a slight dip in some 4th-grade scores in the most recent year—likely normal year-to-year fluctuation—Pembroke remains a standout choice. For parents comparing options, Pembroke's results far exceed nearby schools in other districts, such as Morse Elementary School (Troy) and Alfred E Upton Elementary School (Royal Oak), where proficiency rates often run 20-30 percentage points lower. This is a well-resourced, effective school successfully meeting the needs of a diverse student body.
