Summary

Miami Elementary School in Clinton Twp, MI, serves 473 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district, with about 53% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Miami Elementary shows a mixed academic picture. The school's strongest area is English Language Arts, where proficiency steadily improves from 28.8% in 3rd grade to an impressive 53.2% in 5th grade—actually exceeding both the district (48.7%) and state (43.8%) averages. However, math proficiency follows the opposite trend, declining from 34.8% in 3rd grade to just 22.1% in 5th grade, well below the state average of 32.2%. The school has also demonstrated notable success with its African American students, ranking in the 69th percentile statewide for this group. When compared to nearby schools, Cherokee Elementary outperforms Miami in most subjects, while Huron Elementary (just 0.7 miles away) shows stronger 3rd grade scores. Miami does outperform Ottawa Elementary, which struggles with only 12.2% proficiency in 3rd grade math.

The most significant concern for parents to understand is chronic absenteeism. At 28.6%, Miami's rate exceeds the district average (23.1%) and is the highest among nearby Chippewa Valley Schools—Erie Elementary reports just 18.1%, while Fox Elementary sits at 20.3%. This attendance challenge likely contributes to the school's overall ranking in the 44th percentile statewide (2-star rating), down from a 3-star rating in 2023-2024. The school spends $13,927 per student, which is lower than many comparable schools, and maintains an 18.3:1 student-teacher ratio. While the school has shown it can achieve strong results in specific areas, addressing attendance and reversing the math decline appear to be the most promising opportunities for improvement.
