Summary

Seymour Elementary School in Flushing, MI, serves 498 students in grades 1-6 and is part of the Flushing Community Schools district, which sits in a suburban area southwest of Flint.

Seymour has shown a remarkable turnaround in recent years, climbing from the 33rd percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 70th percentile by 2025-2026, earning a 4-star rating. It is now the clear academic leader in its district, outperforming Central Elementary, Elms Elementary, and Springview Elementary for three consecutive years. One of the school's most impressive strengths is its work with students from low-income backgrounds—about 39% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch—yet this subgroup ranked in the 86th percentile statewide in 2024-2025. The school also excels in upper elementary grades, with 5th grade science proficiency at 60.5% (compared to the 40% state average) and 6th grade math proficiency at 43.8% (versus 31.9% statewide).

Perhaps the most striking differentiator is Seymour's exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.5% in 2024-2025, compared to 23.8% district-wide and 27.9% statewide. Nearby schools in the Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools district report rates of 40.4% at Dye Elementary and 30.7% at Randels Elementary. Seymour achieves these results while operating with a higher student-teacher ratio (21.3) and lower per-student spending ($13,039) than many nearby schools that rank far lower. While 2025-2026 data shows slight declines from the prior year in some areas, Seymour's sustained improvement over five years suggests systemic strengths in instruction, family engagement, and school culture that make it a standout choice for families in the Flushing area.
