Summary

Country Oaks Elementary School in Commerce Township, MI, is a K-5 school within the Huron Valley Schools district, serving 488 students in a largely residential area where about 21% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has a solid reputation, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 30% of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade.

Academically, Country Oaks shows clear strengths in early literacy and early-grade math. In the most recent school year, 3rd-grade reading proficiency hit 61.2% and 3rd-grade math reached 62.7%, both well above state averages. However, there is a notable "math slide" as students get older: by 5th grade, math proficiency drops to 35.5%, barely above the state average. This decline is steeper than at nearby Lakewood Elementary (47.5% in 5th-grade math) or Kurtz Elementary (also 47.5%), both of which are in the same district and rank higher overall. One standout metric is attendance: Country Oaks has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.4%, less than half the district average (22.6%) and far below the state rate (27.9%), suggesting strong family engagement.

While Country Oaks performs well for many students, the data reveals areas needing attention. The school's results for special education students have declined sharply, falling from the 65th percentile a few years ago to the 21st–27th percentile recently. Performance with low-income students has also been inconsistent. Interestingly, Kurtz Elementary, located just 1.4 miles away, serves a higher percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (28.5%) yet outperforms Country Oaks in nearly every academic measure—suggesting that effective instructional strategies may matter more than demographics. On a positive note, Country Oaks spends about $15,782 per student, less than several higher-performing peers, indicating cost-efficient operations. For parents, this is a school with a strong early-learning foundation and excellent attendance, but one where upper-grade math and support for certain student groups deserve close attention.
