Summary

Seymour Elementary School is a public elementary school in Flushing, Michigan, serving around 500 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.

Seymour Elementary consistently outperforms the Flushing district and the state of Michigan in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 55.1% of Seymour's 6th-grade students were proficient in M-Step Math, compared to 41.6% for the Flushing district and 31.5% for the state. Seymour's 5th-grade students also had significantly higher proficiency rates in M-Step Science (60.8%) and M-Step Social Studies (44.3%) than the district and state averages. The school has shown strong performance across different student subgroups, particularly in the areas of male students and low socioeconomic status students.

However, Seymour Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 11.4% in 2023-2024 to 29.5% in 2024-2025. While the school generally outperforms other elementary schools within the Flushing district, its performance is more mixed when compared to schools outside the district, such as Dye Elementary and Randels Elementary in the Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools district. Seymour's increased per-student spending, from $10,676 in 2020-2021 to $12,756 in 2023-2024, may have contributed to its strong academic performance, but the school will need to address the rising chronic absenteeism to maintain its competitive edge.
