Summary

Siple Elementary School in Davison, MI, serves 381 students in Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Davison Community Schools district, which ranks in the 69th percentile statewide.

Siple is a school in transition. While it remains a solid choice compared to schools in nearby districts like Bentley Community School District or Genesee School District—where proficiency rates often sit in the teens and twenties—Siple is losing ground to its direct competitors within Davison. The most striking trend is a sharp decline in 3rd-grade math proficiency, which dropped from 51.3% in 2023-2024 to just 34.2% in 2025-2026, well below the district average of 49.1%. By contrast, 4th-grade English Language Arts has been more resilient, though it also dipped to 43.8% most recently. The school's overall state ranking now sits at the 56th percentile, notably lower than Gates Elementary (73rd), Central Elementary (67th), and especially Hill Elementary (90th).

There are also concerns about how the school is serving its most vulnerable students. Effectiveness with Special Education students plummeted from the 50th to the 25th percentile in just one year, and performance with low-income students dropped from an impressive 84th percentile to the 56th. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from a high of 36.6% to 20.8%, remains more than double the rate at Hill Elementary (8.2%). On a positive note, Siple has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.2—lower than most other Davison elementaries—and per-student spending of $14,880 is in line with district peers. This suggests the school has the resources and class sizes to support improvement, making the recent academic declines a puzzle that points toward instructional strategies and student support services as key areas for review.
