Fennville Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 1169 out of 1488 schools and a 1-star rating. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 26.5% to 33.4%, well above the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores on the M-Step assessments are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 22.8% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and just 16.5% of 3rd graders and 11.7% of 5th graders meeting math proficiency standards.
