Summary

Pinewood School is a public elementary school in Jenison, Michigan, serving 335 students in grades K-6. Part of the Jenison Public Schools district, which is ranked 53 out of 613 districts in the state, Pinewood School has a history of strong academic performance, consistently ranking among the top 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools.

Pinewood School's academic excellence is evident in its impressive test scores, which consistently outperform the state average across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 74.5% of 6th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.6%. In math, 76.7% of 3rd graders were proficient or better, surpassing the state average of 42.7%. The school also performs exceptionally well for specific student subgroups, such as ranking in the top 15% of Michigan elementary schools for male students and low-income students in ELA.

While Pinewood School has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, reaching 30.8% in 2022-2023, the school still performs better than the state average in this metric. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,206 in 2023-2024 may contribute to its strong academic performance. Compared to nearby schools in the Jenison Public Schools district, Pinewood School generally outperforms its peers, though the El Puente Spanish Immersion school outperforms Pinewood in several academic areas.
