Summary

Lillian G Mason Elementary School in Grand Blanc, MI, is a top-rated public school serving 331 students in grades 2 through 5 within the Grand Blanc Community Schools district, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

For parents, the most striking takeaway is Mason's consistently high academic performance across every subject and grade level. In 5th-grade Social Studies, for example, 68.9% of students were proficient, compared to just 27.5% statewide. Similarly, 4th-grade Math proficiency hit 67.9%, far exceeding the state average of 39.4%. This excellence isn't limited to one group—the school achieves top-tier results for students from all backgrounds, with African American students ranking in the 94th percentile and students from low socio-economic backgrounds in the 93rd percentile statewide. This suggests the school's success is systemic, not accidental. Attendance is also a strength: the chronic absenteeism rate is just 13.4%, less than half the district rate of 24.1% and well below the state's 27.9%.

What makes Mason particularly interesting is its contrast with nearby schools. While Myers Elementary is the district's next-best performer (86th percentile), Mason still outpaces it in nearly every subject—for instance, 5th-grade Math proficiency is 66.7% at Mason versus 56.8% at Myers. The gap is even starker when compared to McGrath Elementary and Reid Elementary, where 4th-grade Math proficiency is just 25.2% and 37.8%, respectively—less than half of Mason's rate. Interestingly, Mason shares a campus with Cook Elementary (serving grades PK-2), and both schools have nearly identical low absenteeism rates, suggesting a strong community culture of attendance. Mason's ranking dipped slightly to the 83rd percentile in 2022-2023 during post-pandemic recovery but has since surged back to the 92nd percentile, demonstrating remarkable resilience and a proven track record of academic excellence over the past decade.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, May 10, 2015

This school is operated on a path of least resistance. The staff has no desire to help students excel, only to maintain. The staff can be snotty and feel as they are the ones evaluating parents as apposed to being accountable to them. they offer zero help to the point of not disclosing curriculum materials under the guise of confidentiality. This school is sad. Some teachers may be outstanding but many have the personality of a dish rag. Also, "as you know" the food is fit for alley cats....I wouldn't feed it to people that were starving. Close Quote
