Summary

Meridian Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grosse Ile Township Schools district, serving 326 students in grades K-5. The school consistently ranks among the top 10-20% of Michigan elementary schools, with strong academic performance across all grade levels and subjects.

Meridian Elementary's students significantly outperform the state average on M-Step assessments, with 62.6% of 3rd graders, 71.1% of 4th graders, and 66.3% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 38.9%, 42.4%, and 44.4%, respectively. The school also excels in supporting its student subgroups, ranking among the top 5-10% of Michigan elementary schools for Hispanic students and special education students. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.0% in 2020-2021 to 30.8% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.
