Summary

Ida Elementary School in Ida, MI, serves 514 students in Pre-K through 4th grade and is part of the highly ranked Ida Public School District, which sits in the 84th percentile statewide.

Ida Elementary is a solid, above-average school with a standout strength: it does exceptionally well supporting students from low-income families. In the 2024-2025 school year, this group ranked in the 90th percentile statewide, earning a 5-star rating—a remarkable achievement that sets it apart from nearby schools like Jackman Road Elementary School and Dundee Elementary School, which serve similar demographics but don't show the same level of success with this population. Overall, the school consistently beats state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency hit 60.9% in 2025-2026, compared to the state's 42.9%. However, performance has become somewhat volatile since a peak in 2022-2023, and the school's state ranking dipped to the 67th percentile in 2024-2025 before rebounding to the 72nd percentile in 2025-2026.

There are a few areas where Ida Elementary could improve. Most notably, the school shows a persistent gender gap—in 2025-2026, female students ranked in the 74th percentile while male students ranked in the 63rd. More concerning is the performance of special education students, who have ranked in the low-40th percentile for two consecutive years, earning just 2 stars. Chronic absenteeism is also a school-specific issue: at 13.6% in 2024-2025, it's higher than the district's 11.9%, though it's less than half the state average and has improved dramatically from a post-pandemic spike of 25.7%. When compared to similar high-performing peers in Bedford Public Schools like Monroe Road Elementary School and Jackman Road, Ida spends nearly the same per pupil ($13,294) and has a slightly better student-teacher ratio (17.1), yet those schools currently achieve higher overall rankings. Still, Ida far outperforms the struggling schools in Monroe Public Schools, which face much higher poverty rates and chronic absenteeism.
