Summary

Gill Elementary School in Farmington, MI, is a mid-sized public school serving 543 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the highly-rated Farmington Public School District, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 77th percentile statewide.

Gill stands out for its consistent performance across different student groups. In the most recent school year, the school's rankings for female students (65th percentile), male students (65th percentile), African American students (69th percentile), and White students (71st percentile) are all tightly clustered, showing that the school is effectively serving its diverse student body without major achievement gaps. The school also excels in early elementary education: 54.2% of 3rd graders are proficient in English Language Arts and 59.7% in Math, both well above district and state averages. Additionally, Gill has made impressive strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 28.1% in 2021-2022 to 18.5% in 2024-2025, which is notably better than both the district (22.3%) and state (27.9%) averages.

However, there are areas of concern for parents to consider. The school shows a noticeable dip in 5th-grade performance, with proficiency rates in ELA (50.5%) and Math (38.9%) falling below district averages. When compared to nearby schools, Gill sits in the middle of the pack within its district—it outperforms JA Lanigan Elementary School (58th percentile) but trails Hillside Elementary School (74th percentile) and Longacre Elementary School (76th percentile). Longacre, in particular, outperforms Gill in nearly every subject and grade level tested. Gill also spends more per student ($15,666) than some higher-performing schools like Coolidge Elementary School in the Livonia Public Schools School District, which achieves a 90th percentile ranking with lower spending. While Gill is a solid school with strong early foundations and equitable outcomes, families should be aware of the upper-grade performance dip and consider how it compares to higher-achieving options nearby.
