Summary

Marble School is an elementary school in East Lansing, MI, serving 306 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated East Lansing School District. The school has shown a strong upward trend, jumping to the 82nd percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year—a notable improvement from 74th the year before and a clear rebound after a dip in 2022-2023.

For parents, the most exciting news is Marble’s exceptional strength in math. In 5th grade, 57.4% of students are proficient in math—a remarkable 25 percentage points above the state average. The school also shows impressive academic growth as students move up, with 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency (63%) significantly outpacing 3rd-grade levels (49%). This suggests that children who stay at Marble through the upper elementary years tend to thrive academically. That said, the school faces a real challenge with chronic absenteeism at 26.1%—higher than nearby Whitehills Elementary (19.2%) and Glencairn School (19.8%), though it has improved significantly from a peak of 37.6% a few years ago.

When comparing Marble to other local options, it’s a solid mid-tier choice within the district—outperforming Donley Elementary School and Red Cedar School, while trailing slightly behind Whitehills. The competitive landscape is stark: just 2.6 miles away, Okemos Public MontessoriCentral in the Okemos Public Schools district ranks in the 99th percentile with proficiency rates above 80%. However, Marble dramatically outperforms nearby Pattengill School in the Lansing Public School District, which sits in the 16th percentile. For families prioritizing strong math instruction and steady academic growth in a supportive district environment, Marble represents a compelling choice—though it’s worth asking the school about its plans to address absenteeism and ensure all students share in its recent success.
