Summary

State Road Elementary School in Fenton, MI, is a K-5 public school with 396 students, serving a community within the highly-rated Fenton Area Public Schools district, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide.

State Road is a consistently strong performer, earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger for several years and ranking in the 81st percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. Its test scores regularly outpace state averages across all subjects and grade levels. The school shows particular strength in upper-grade English Language Arts, with 5th-grade proficiency at an impressive 70% for 2024-2025, well above the state average of 44.4%. One of the most striking differentiators is the school's exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.6% for 2024-2025—far better than the state average of 27.9% and its district peers like North Road Elementary School (23.3%) and TomekEastern Elementary School (13.8%). This points to a positive, engaged school culture where students want to be. The school also invests in smaller class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, compared to 18.9 at Central Elementary School in the Linden Community Schools district.

While State Road is a top performer, the data reveals a few areas for parents to be aware of. 5th-grade math is a relative weak spot, with proficiency at 39.5% for 2025-2026, below the district average of 49.5% and a notable drop from the 4th-grade rate of 62.1%. There is also a widening achievement gap between female and male students, with the school ranking in the 84th percentile for serving its female students but only the 73rd percentile for its male students. Additionally, the school's performance with its Special Education students has declined sharply, dropping from the 80th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 40th percentile in 2025-2026. Compared to nearby schools, State Road significantly outperforms schools in the Holly Area School District, such as Holly Elementary School and Patterson Elementary School, in 5th-grade science. Its performance is competitive with the highly-ranked Holly Academy charter school, though that school generally posts higher proficiency rates.
