Summary

Daisy Brook Elementary School in Fremont, MI, serves 446 students in grades 3 through 5 as part of the Fremont Public School District, a district rated 4 stars (80th percentile) statewide. The school has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 42nd percentile in 2015-2016 to the 66th percentile in 2025-2026, with its best recent performance at the 67th percentile the year prior.

What makes Daisy Brook stand out is its ability to achieve strong academic results despite serving a student body where roughly 63% qualify for free or reduced lunch—a poverty rate similar to neighboring schools that perform far worse. For example, in 2025-2026, 5th-grade reading proficiency at Daisy Brook was 51.8%, compared to just 22.9% at Oakridge Upper Elementary School and 30.6% at Holton Elementary School, both of which have comparable or higher poverty rates. The school is particularly effective with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, who ranked in the 79th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 (4 stars). Daisy Brook also keeps chronic absenteeism low at 16.4%, well below the district average of 20.0% and the state average of 27.9%—a notable feat since its feeder school, Pathfinder Elementary School, reports a higher rate of 22.3%. Additionally, Daisy Brook consistently outperforms the state in 5th-grade science, exceeding state proficiency rates every year for the past four years.

The school's main challenge lies in supporting students with special needs. In 2025-2026, Special Education students ranked in the 6th percentile statewide (0 stars), a stark contrast to the school's overall success. There is also a growing gender gap: female students improved to the 72nd percentile in 2025-2026, while male students stagnated at the 52nd percentile. Compared to seven other elementary schools within a 13-mile radius, Daisy Brook is the clear academic leader, ranking 509th of 1492 schools statewide—far ahead of White Cloud Elementary School (842nd), Grant Elementary School (913th), and Twin Lake School (952nd)—often beating them by 15-20 percentage points in proficiency. The school achieves these results while spending $14,643 per student, less than several nearby schools that perform far worse.
