Summary

Greenwood Elementary School in Saint Clair Shores, MI, is a mid-sized public school serving 430 students in grades PK-5 within the Lakeview Public Schools (Macomb) district, where just over half of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Greenwood's most impressive strength is its exceptional results with students from low socio-economic backgrounds. While the school overall ranks in the 62nd percentile statewide, its performance with low-SES students places it in the 80th percentile—a remarkable outlier compared to similar schools. For example, Harmon Elementary, which has a nearly identical poverty rate, ranks only in the 42nd percentile overall. This suggests Greenwood has effective, targeted strategies that help economically disadvantaged children thrive academically. The school also shows strong gains by 5th grade, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (61.5%) and Math (49.2%) that significantly exceed both state and district averages. One area to note is a consistent gender gap: boys rank in the 63rd percentile statewide while girls rank in the 54th percentile, a pattern that has persisted over several years.

Greenwood has been on a remarkable upward trajectory since the pandemic, improving its state percentile ranking for three consecutive years (48th → 57th → 60th → 62nd). Chronic absenteeism, while still affecting one in five students, has dropped dramatically from a peak of 38.5% in 2021-2022 to 20.5%—better than both district and state averages. The school's focus on literacy and math is clear, though there's room for growth in Science and especially Social Studies, where proficiency (21.5%) trails state averages. Compared to nearby schools in neighboring districts like Ruth H Green Elementary (12th percentile) and Forest Park Elementary (2nd percentile), Greenwood stands out as a beacon of achievement in the area, proving that strong outcomes are possible regardless of economic challenges.
