Summary

Cedar Crest Elementary School in Greenville, MI, is a mid-sized school serving 281 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Greenville Public Schools district, which ranks in the 80th percentile statewide.

Cedar Crest has shown a remarkable turnaround over the past decade, jumping from a 2-star school in the 40th percentile to a consistent 4-star rating, currently ranking in the 74th percentile statewide. The school's most impressive strength is its exceptional success with students from low-income backgrounds—it ranks in the 88th percentile for this group, far exceeding its overall ranking. This is especially notable given that 69% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Cedar Crest also shines in 3rd-grade math, where 75% of students are proficient, beating the state average of 42.9% and rivaling schools in more affluent districts like Lakes Elementary (75.7%) and Murray Lake Elementary (67.6%). The school invests heavily in its students, spending $18,241 per pupil—the highest among comparable schools—and maintaining a favorable 12.7:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

However, parents should be aware of some challenges. There's a notable dip in 4th-grade performance, with ELA proficiency dropping to 33.3% and math to 50% in the most recent year. Upper-grade content areas also lag: 5th-grade science proficiency (48.9%) and social studies (24.4%) trail district averages. Chronic absenteeism sits at 19.8%, higher than other Greenville elementaries like Lincoln Heights Elementary (13.8%) and Baldwin Heights School (14.7%). While Cedar Crest holds its own against affluent neighbors in early grades, gaps widen by 5th grade—for instance, 5th-grade math proficiency (52.3%) trails Lakes Elementary's 67.6%. Overall, Cedar Crest is a strong choice for families seeking a school that excels at supporting diverse learners, particularly in early elementary years.
