Summary

Grand Blanc Middle School East is a high-performing public school in Grand Blanc, MI, serving 884 students in grades 4 through 8 as part of the Grand Blanc Community Schools district.

This school consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Michigan, currently placing in the 86th percentile statewide. Students here significantly outperform state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, 7th-grade reading proficiency hit 58.8% compared to the state's 38.4%, and 8th-grade science scores reached 64.1% versus 41.1% statewide. What truly sets this school apart is its success with all students—its African American students and those from low-income households both rank in the top 10% statewide for their peer groups. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism low at 17.9%, far better than the state average of 27.9%, which signals strong student engagement. While math scores remain above state averages, they are the relative weak spot compared to reading and science, suggesting an area for continued focus.

Parents comparing schools in the area will notice some striking differences. Grand Blanc Middle School East dramatically outperforms its district counterpart, Grand Blanc Middle School West, which ranks 400th statewide. It also surpasses nearby Davison Middle School (199th), Goodrich Middle School (329th), and far outpaces CarmanAinsworth Middle School (804th) and Bendle Middle School (818th). Notably, East achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,157) than many neighboring schools, including Grand Blanc West ($14,646) and Carman-Ainsworth ($18,178). For families seeking a school that delivers strong academics across all subjects and supports every student's success, Grand Blanc Middle School East stands out as an exceptional choice.

Classes are very large...most of them with over 32 kids per class. They have to share lockers, due to over crowding. Advanced students are not challenged..they are forced to sit there all day without anything to do. They eliminated the gifted program a couple of years ago. After school clubs are not supported by the teachers...there are 4 teachers that will do something, all the rest are too busy with their own lives to help create a better school. Bullying is a huge problem at this school. Though teachers try, the bullies are very clever and keep it below the radar....so if the teacher does not see it, nothing can be done about it.
