Summary

Columbiaville Elementary School serves 347 students in Pre-K through 4th grade in the small community of Columbiaville, MI, within the LakeVille Community School District.

For parents, the most important takeaway is that Columbiaville is a school working hard to support its students, but it faces real academic challenges. About 65% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the state average. The school's overall test scores are below state averages—for example, only about 25% of 3rd graders and 27% of 4th graders are proficient in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 38% and 41%. Math scores show a similar pattern, though 3rd-grade math is a relative bright spot, coming close to the state average. One of the most interesting findings is that the school's economically disadvantaged students are actually performing better relative to their peers statewide than the school's overall population—ranking in the 53rd percentile compared to the school's 32nd percentile overall. This suggests targeted programs for low-income students may be working well. However, there is a significant gender gap: male students rank in the 39th percentile while female students rank in the 12th percentile, a gap that has widened over the past three years.

Compared to nearby schools, Columbiaville's performance is notably weaker. Schools in the Davison Community Schools district, like Hill Elementary (90th percentile) and Siple Elementary, consistently rank much higher. Even schools in the Lapeer Community Schools district, such as CK Schickler Elementary and Elva Lynch Elementary (both 66th percentile), serve similar populations but achieve far better results. On a positive note, Columbiaville's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.7% is much better than its own district's 26.1% average, suggesting the school is a relative bright spot for attendance. The school also spends about $14,971 per student—more than higher-performing neighbors like Meachum Elementary ($12,849)—which indicates that challenges are not due to a lack of funding but rather how resources are used. For parents, this means asking questions about instructional strategies, how the school supports female students, and what can be learned from its success with low-income students.
