Lybrook Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

1273^rd

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,492 Michigan Elementary Schools

Better than 15% of Michigan elementary schools

Summary

Lybrook Elementary School in Eau Claire, MI, serves 233 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Eau Claire Public Schools district, where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Lybrook faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the 15th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. This places it well below several nearby schools, including Hollywood Elementary School (87th percentile) and Clarke School (86th percentile) in the neighboring Lakeshore School District (Berrien) and St. Joseph Public Schools districts. Proficiency gaps are stark—for example, 5th-grade ELA proficiency is 23.1% at Lybrook compared to 69.6% at Hollywood and 60.8% at Clarke. Even when compared to schools with similar economic challenges, Lybrook trails Sister Lakes Elementary School (44th percentile, 67% free/reduced lunch) but outperforms Fair Plain East Elementary (2nd percentile, 95% free/reduced lunch). Notably, Lybrook spends $18,284 per student—more than Hollywood ($16,319) and significantly more than Clarke ($11,847)—suggesting that funding alone isn't the determining factor in outcomes.

There are encouraging signs of progress. Lybrook's statewide rank has improved from the 8th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 15th percentile in 2025-2026, with notable gains in 3rd and 4th-grade ELA and Math scores. Chronic absenteeism, which peaked at 42.6% in 2021-2022, has dropped dramatically to 21.0% in 2024-2025—now better than the state average of 27.9% and lower than nearby Patrick Hamilton Elementary (27.8%). This improvement in attendance may be contributing to the recent academic gains. While Lybrook still has substantial work ahead, the combination of better attendance and rising test scores offers a foundation for continued improvement, even as the school works to close the gap with higher-performing peers in the region.
