Summary

Frank E Weiss Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Woodhaven, MI, serving 285 students within the Gibraltar School District, a district rated in the 64th percentile statewide.

Weiss has shown real improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 31st percentile in 2015-2016 to the 63rd percentile today. The school is particularly effective with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, who scored in the 73rd percentile statewide last year—a strong sign that the school is successfully supporting learners who often face additional hurdles. However, chronic absenteeism is a significant concern: at 23.3%, it's nearly double the rate at nearby Chapman Elementary School (13.4%) and Parsons Elementary School (13.9%), and well above the 17.4% rate at Hunter Elementary School, which sits less than a mile away. That proximity comparison is striking: Hunter consistently outperforms Weiss in nearly every subject and grade level, often by 10-20 percentage points, despite being in the same district. This suggests school-level factors like culture and instructional practices may be driving the differences.

Weiss also shows a consistent dip in 4th-grade performance—math proficiency drops to 29.2% in 4th grade versus 62.8% in 3rd grade—which may point to a curriculum transition issue worth investigating. The school spends a substantial $18,407 per student, more than Chapman ($16,133) and Parsons ($14,953), yet produces lower outcomes than both, raising questions about resource allocation. On the positive side, Weiss maintains a balanced curriculum, with 5th-grade science and social studies scores near or above state averages. While the school's improvement is real, the high absenteeism, a growing gender gap (females rank 23 percentile points higher than males), and the 4th-grade slump are clear areas for targeted attention.
