Summary

TomekEastern Elementary School in Fenton, MI, is a K-5 public school serving 380 students as part of the highly rated Fenton Area Public Schools district.

TomekEastern has shown remarkable, steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 54th percentile statewide in 2015-2016 to the 90th percentile today—a 36-point jump that has earned it a 4-star rating. What truly sets this school apart is its exceptional success with students who often face greater challenges. For students from low-income families (about 39% of the student body), TomekEastern ranks in the 99th percentile statewide for academic growth and proficiency—meaning economic background is not a predictor of success here. The school has also made dramatic strides supporting students in special education, jumping from the 42nd to the 94th percentile in just two years. This points to targeted, effective intervention programs that are clearly working. Academically, TomekEastern outperforms its local peers, ranking higher than North Road Elementary and State Road Elementary in the same district, as well as nearby Torrey Hill Intermediate and Central Elementary. Proficiency rates are consistently above district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels.

Chronic absenteeism (13.8%) is lower than the district average (16.6%) and less than half the state average, suggesting strong student engagement. The school also uses its resources efficiently, spending less per student than nearby Holly Elementary while achieving better outcomes. Even compared to the high-performing Holly Academy charter school, TomekEastern achieves near-parity in overall rankings while serving nearly double the percentage of low-income students—a powerful sign of equity and effectiveness. The only relative soft spot is 5th-grade social studies, where scores dip slightly below the district average, though still far exceeding state levels. Overall, TomekEastern is a school on a clear upward trajectory, delivering strong results for every child.
