Summary

Elms Elementary School is a public elementary school in Flushing, Michigan, serving 347 students in grades 1-6. The school is part of the Flushing Community Schools district, which is ranked 218 out of 613 districts in the state.

Elms Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower, it performs better in Science and Social Studies. For example, in 2024-2025, Elms Elementary's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was 54.7%, compared to the state's 40.3% and the district's 58.4%. However, the school has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 22.3% in 2022-2023 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Elms Elementary to other nearby schools within the Flushing Community Schools district, Seymour Elementary School and Central Elementary School generally outperform Elms Elementary in academic proficiency. Additionally, Elms Elementary's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students and low-socioeconomic status students consistently performing better than their male and special education counterparts. Despite the increased per-student spending at Elms Elementary, the school's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution.
