Summary

Cedar View Elementary School in Cedar Springs, MI, serves roughly 4th and 5th grade students within the Cedar Springs Public Schools district, a highly-rated district that sits in the 79th percentile statewide.

Cedar View is a school on a clear upward trajectory. Its overall state ranking has climbed steadily from the 43rd percentile in 2021-2022 to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026, showing consistent year-over-year improvement. Academically, the school outperforms the state average in core subjects. For example, in 5th-grade math, 44.8% of students were proficient compared to the state's 32.2%, and in science, the school hit 49.8% proficiency versus the state's 40%. One of its standout strengths is attendance: the chronic absenteeism rate is just 11.3%, which is far better than its own district average (17.5%) and less than half the state average (27.9%). The school also shows remarkable effectiveness with its low-income students, who ranked in the 74th percentile statewide—a sign that the school is successfully supporting students who may face additional challenges outside of school.

However, there are areas of concern. The most significant is the achievement gap when compared to the neighboring Rockford Public Schools. While Cedar View beats the state average, it trails Rockford elementary schools like Lakes Elementary School and Roguewood Elementary School by a wide margin—for instance, in 5th-grade math, Rockford schools ranged from 61.2% to 79.6% proficiency. Internally, the school's biggest challenge is supporting its Special Education students, who ranked in the 18th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026, a stark contrast to the success of other subgroups. Additionally, 5th-grade social studies proficiency (23.8%) falls below the state average (27.5%), and the performance of the Multi-racial student subgroup has been volatile. Despite these challenges, Cedar View's overall positive trend and strong attendance make it a solid, improving choice for families.
