Summary

Jamestown Upper Elementary School in Jamestown, MI, serves 327 students in grades 3-5 and is part of the highly regarded Hudsonville Public School District, ranking in the top 5% of elementary schools statewide.

This school is an academic powerhouse. It ranks 51st out of 1,492 elementary schools in Michigan, and its students score roughly double the state average in English Language Arts and Math. In fact, 3rd and 4th graders post proficiency rates above 80% in both subjects—significantly outpacing even the district's already strong averages. The school also stands out for its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.5%, which is less than a quarter of the state average. This suggests students are engaged and families are connected to the school. While 5th-grade scores dip somewhat—particularly in Math (61.8% proficient) and Social Studies (46.7%)—they still remain well above state norms, indicating a possible area of focus as students prepare for middle school.

What truly sets Jamestown apart is its consistent success across all student groups. It ranks in the 95th percentile or higher for female, male, and white students, and notably ranks 4th in the entire state for its effectiveness with Hispanic students. Even students receiving special education services and those from low socio-economic backgrounds perform in the 84th and 91st percentiles, respectively. Compared to nearby schools, Jamestown outperforms Bursley School and Rosewood School by wide margins in core subjects. Within its own district, only Park Elemementary School ranks higher, though Jamestown achieves its results with a larger student-teacher ratio (17.2 vs. 12.2) and lower per-student spending ($14,835 vs. $21,788). For parents seeking a school that delivers top-tier academics while effectively supporting every learner, Jamestown Upper Elementary is an exceptional choice.
