Summary

Pinewood School is a K-6 elementary school in Jenison, MI, serving 320 students as part of the highly-ranked Jenison Public Schools district.

Pinewood is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the top 15% of Michigan elementary schools. In the most recent school year, it ranked 117th out of 1,492 schools statewide. Students significantly outperform state averages in all core subjects. For example, 6th-grade reading proficiency was 68.1% compared to the state's 37.5%, and 5th-grade social studies proficiency was an impressive 76.4% versus the state's 27.5%. The school also keeps students engaged, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.2%—far below the state average of 27.9%. One of Pinewood's most defining strengths is its remarkable success with students from low-income backgrounds, who rank in the 96th percentile statewide. This suggests the school is highly effective at helping all students thrive, regardless of economic circumstances.

Pinewood stands out among nearby schools in several ways. While all Jenison elementary schools perform well, Pinewood's overall ranking is higher than Bursley School (262nd) and Sandy Hill School (291st), even though Pinewood spends less per student ($17,227) than both. This points to strong efficiency and effective use of resources. Pinewood also serves a more economically diverse student body than nearby Hudsonville schools like Georgetown Elementary School and Alward Elementary School, yet still achieves competitive results. Compared to the district's magnet option, El Puente Spanish Immersion, Pinewood offers a more consistent top-tier performance in recent years. The school has also shown a positive trajectory, climbing from 214th to 117th in state rankings year-over-year, with notable gains in 3rd-grade reading and 5th-grade math.
