Summary

Charlevoix Elementary School in Charlevoix, MI, serves 398 students from Pre-K through 6th grade in the Charlevoix Public Schools district, a district rated in the top 15% of Michigan school districts.

This school has a standout strength: it achieves exceptional results with its economically disadvantaged students. While its overall state ranking sits at the 67th percentile, its performance with low-income students ranks in the 86th percentile statewide—a remarkable feat that suggests the school is highly effective at closing achievement gaps. It also shows strong support for special education students, with their ranking jumping from the 36th to the 75th percentile in just one year. Academically, English Language Arts is a clear strength, with proficiency rates consistently exceeding state averages across all grade levels. Science and social studies are also strong, with 5th graders scoring well above state averages. However, math is a critical area for improvement, particularly in upper grades—5th-grade math proficiency sits at just 14%, compared to the state average of 32.2%. There is also a consistent gender gap, with female students outperforming males by roughly 10-13 percentile points.

Compared to nearby schools, Charlevoix stands out in several ways. It significantly outperforms East Jordan Elementary School, which serves a similar demographic profile, in nearly every subject and grade level. While the Public Schools of Petoskey (including Lincoln School, Sheridan School, and Central Elementary School) have higher overall rankings, Charlevoix does a more effective job supporting its most vulnerable learners. One persistent challenge is chronic absenteeism—at 19.4%, it's nearly double the rate at Shay Elementary School (10.9%) and significantly higher than East Jordan's remarkably low 6.4%. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6 and higher per-student spending than Boyne City Public Schools or East Jordan Public Schools, Charlevoix has the resources to address its math challenges and attendance issues—which could unlock significant gains in its overall ranking.
