Summary

Erie Elementary School in Clinton Twp, MI, is a mid-sized public school serving 474 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district, and it has maintained a stable 2-star rating over the past decade.

One of Erie's standout strengths is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1%, which is significantly better than the district average (23.1%) and far below nearby schools like Ottawa Elementary School (29.6%) and Clinton Valley Elementary School (28.1%). The school also serves a comparatively more affluent population, with 36.29% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, versus rates above 50% at Miami Elementary School and Fox Elementary School. Notably, Erie excels with specific student groups—its African American students ranked in the 88th percentile statewide (4 stars) in 2024-2025, and its low-income students jumped to the 66th percentile, suggesting effective support for these populations.

However, there are areas of concern. Test scores show a troubling decline in math proficiency as students advance: 3rd graders scored 31% proficient, but that drops to 23.8% in 4th grade and just 18.2% in 5th grade, well below the state average of 32.2%. A similar pattern appears in English Language Arts, where 5th graders lag behind district and state averages. Interestingly, the previous year's 5th graders outperformed district and state averages across all subjects, making the recent decline puzzling. Erie also spends more per student ($15,395) and has smaller class sizes (16.6 student-teacher ratio) than most peers, yet its closest neighbor, Cherokee Elementary School (just 0.62 miles away), achieves higher proficiency in nearly every subject despite having a slightly higher poverty rate. This suggests Erie has resources that aren't fully translating into academic results, and parents may want to ask about the school's approach to upper-grade math instruction.
