Summary

Natalie Kreeger Elementary School in Fowlerville, MI, serves 539 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the Fowlerville Community Schools district, which ranks in the 66th percentile statewide.

This school is on a remarkable upward trajectory. Over the past five years, Natalie Kreeger has climbed from the 30th percentile in statewide rankings to the 64th percentile, showing consistent, measurable improvement in student achievement. In the most recent testing year, proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for 3rd and 5th graders exceeded both district and state averages—for example, 3rd-grade Math proficiency hit 56.5% compared to the state average of 42.9%. The school also shines in 5th-grade Social Studies, where 38.3% of students are proficient, a rate that is nearly 11 points above the state average and even surpasses the high-performing Williamston Explorer Elementary School (35.2%). Notably, Natalie Kreeger is particularly effective with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 64th percentile for this subgroup—a figure that has steadily improved from the 51st percentile just two years ago. Additionally, its chronic absenteeism rate (17.4%) is lower than that of its same-district feeder school, Fowlerville Elementary School (22.5%), suggesting attendance improves as students transition to this building.

However, the data reveals two significant areas of concern. Most critically, the school's Special Education students rank in the bottom 4th percentile statewide—an extreme outlier compared to all other metrics and a sign that improvement strategies may not be reaching this population effectively. There is also a persistent gender gap: male students rank in the 65th percentile while female students rank in the 56th percentile, a gap that has remained consistent over recent years. While the school achieves strong results with larger class sizes (a student-teacher ratio of 17.2) and higher-than-average per-student spending ($15,211), these two subgroups represent the most important opportunities for ensuring that Natalie Kreeger's impressive gains are equitable for every learner.
