Summary

Grosse Ile Middle School, part of the highly-rated Grosse Ile Township Schools district, serves 383 students in grades 6-8 on the island community of Grosse Ile, MI, and consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the Downriver area.

This school is a clear academic leader in its region. In nearly every subject and grade level, Grosse Ile outperforms its neighbors by a wide margin. For example, 7th-grade English proficiency stands at 63.2%, which is nearly double the rate at the next closest school, Boyd W Arthurs Middle School in Trenton (32.8%), and a staggering 40 percentage points higher than Davidson Middle School in Southgate. The school also leads in math, with 7th-grade proficiency at 45.6% compared to just 13.9% at Davidson. Even on the 8th-grade PSAT, a key college readiness indicator, Grosse Ile's English score of 79% is the highest in the region. One of the most impressive findings is the school's exceptional support for special education students, who ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide—a 5-star rating that places the program among the top 20 in Michigan.

While the academic results are outstanding, there are a couple of areas parents might want to keep in mind. Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with 25.3% of students missing significant school time—a rate notably higher than the 15.0% at Boyd W Arthurs. This is surprising given the school's affluent demographics (only 10.18% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch). Additionally, while the school excels overall, its performance with the small population of low-income students is more volatile, ranking in the 56th percentile this year after being in the 80th percentile the year prior. Despite these challenges, the school's consistent 4-star rating over the past decade and its efficient spending ($16,295 per student, less than Davidson's $19,812) make it a benchmark for middle school education in the area.
