Summary

Orion Oaks Elementary School in Lake Orion, MI, serves approximately 514 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly regarded Lake Orion Community Schools district, which ranks in the 88th percentile statewide.

Orion Oaks is a solid, mid-tier elementary school within its district, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 330th out of 1,492 Michigan elementary schools (78th percentile) in the most recent year—a notable improvement from the prior year. The school's standout strength is its exceptional support for English Language Learner (ELL) students, who rank in the 95th percentile statewide (5 stars), a dramatic rise from the 70th percentile just two years prior. Hispanic students also show strong and improving outcomes, ranking in the 73rd percentile. However, the school faces a clear challenge in upper elementary grades: while 3rd graders outperform the district average in both math and ELA, by 5th grade proficiency falls significantly behind—a 12-point gap in ELA and nearly 8 points in math compared to district peers. Science proficiency has also dropped sharply over two years. Within the district, Orion Oaks ranks second-to-last among six elementary schools, trailing higher-performing peers like Webber School (95th percentile) and Stadium Drive Elementary (90th percentile), though it outperforms most Oxford Community Schools options. Notably, Orion Oaks spends more per student ($15,949) than several higher-performing district peers, yet outcomes don't consistently reflect that investment.

On the positive side, the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 and has made remarkable progress reducing chronic absenteeism—now at 12.6%, less than half the state average of 27.9%. The school also shows a recent gender disparity, with female students ranking in the 81st percentile while male students slipped to the 70th. For parents, Orion Oaks offers strong early elementary instruction, excellent ELL support, and good attendance, but families should be aware of the upper-grade performance dip and the school's relative position among district peers when making enrollment decisions.
