Summary

Huron Elementary School in Clinton Twp, MI, is a mid-sized public school serving 522 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district, and it has earned a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

For parents, the most encouraging news is that Huron is a stable, efficient school that punches above its weight. While its overall state ranking sits in the 51st percentile—solidly average—it achieves this with lower per-student spending ($13,028) than every nearby comparable school, including Dekeyser Elementary School ($13,514) and Bruce Collins Elementary School ($16,815). The school is particularly strong in English Language Arts, with 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates (41.8% and 45.2%) that beat both district and state averages. Even more impressive, Huron ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide for African American students and the 81st percentile for Special Education students, making it an exceptionally strong choice for families with children who have special educational needs. The school has also made remarkable progress on attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 35.9% in 2021-2022 down to 20.3% in 2024-2025.

However, there are two clear areas of concern. Math proficiency has been sliding—3rd-grade math dropped from 54.9% in 2023-2024 to just 39.2% in 2025-2026, now below state averages in every grade. There is also a persistent and widening gender gap, with female students ranking in the 56th percentile but male students only in the 36th percentile. When compared to nearby options, Huron outperforms some of its Chippewa Valley peers like Erie Elementary School and Miami Elementary School, but it trails top performers from the neighboring Utica Community Schools district—for instance, Dekeyser Elementary School posts a 62.3% 3rd-grade math proficiency rate. For families weighing options, Huron offers a well-rounded, efficient education with standout support for specific student groups, though those prioritizing math instruction or support for boys may want to explore nearby alternatives.
