Summary

Meyer Elementary School in Lexington, MI, is a high-performing Pre-K through 4th grade school within the Croswell-Lexington Community Schools district, serving 275 students in a rural setting and currently ranking in the top 9% of Michigan elementary schools.

What truly sets Meyer apart is its remarkable success with students from low-income households. Even though nearly half of its students (49.82%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 99th percentile statewide for the academic performance of this group. This is a standout achievement, especially when compared to Frostick School, its counterpart in the same district, which has a higher percentage of low-income students (66.67%) but ranks much lower overall (60th percentile). Meyer's test scores are dramatically higher than district and state averages—for example, 3rd-grade reading proficiency hits 68.5% versus the state's 38.2%, and 3rd-grade math reaches 74.1% versus the state's 42.9%. The school also excels across all student groups, ranking in the 91st percentile for female students and 85th for male students, showing a consistent culture of high expectations for everyone.

Beyond academics, Meyer stands out for its low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.5%, well below the district's 18.7% and the state's 27.9%, signaling a welcoming and engaging environment. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending $16,787 per student—less than nearby Garfield Elementary School ($18,987) and Carsonville-Port Sanilac Elementary School ($17,942), both of which rank significantly lower. One area to watch is 4th-grade math, where proficiency (58.3%) dips below 3rd-grade levels, though it still far exceeds state averages. Overall, Meyer offers an exceptional, equitable education that rivals—and in many cases surpasses—high-performing neighbors like Yale Elementary School, making it a standout choice for families in the area.
