Summary

Walt Disney Elementary School in Clinton Township, MI, serves 366 students in Kindergarten through 6th grade within the Fraser Public Schools district, and is showing strong positive momentum after a significant one-year improvement in its statewide ranking.

The school has rebounded from the 47th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 59th percentile in 2025-2026—its best showing in several years. One of its most notable strengths is exceptional performance with African American students, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide (13th out of 388 schools) with a 5-star rating, a level of success that has been consistent for three straight years. Academically, the school shines brightest in early elementary math: 3rd grade math proficiency hit 65.9%, outpacing the state average by more than 21 percentage points. However, this advantage fades by 5th and 6th grades, where scores converge with state averages. English Language Arts scores also jumped dramatically in 2025-2026, with 3rd grade reading climbing to 47.7% proficiency—12.5 points above the district average. The school achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,977) than most nearby schools and maintaining larger class sizes, suggesting efficient resource use.

Compared to nearby options, Walt Disney outperforms Thomas A. Edison Elementary (41st percentile) in its own district and dramatically exceeds schools in neighboring districts like Charles C McGlinnen School (20th percentile) and Seminole Academy (4th percentile). It trails Salk Elementary (57th percentile) slightly, but Walt Disney's upward trajectory contrasts with Salk's recent decline. Key challenges remain: chronic absenteeism sits at 30%, a growing gender gap favors boys by 14 percentage points, and science and social studies scores trail state averages. Still, with its recent gains and exceptional results for specific student groups, Walt Disney appears well-positioned for continued improvement.
