Summary

Marie C Graham Elementary School in Harrison Township, MI, serves 356 students in grades PK-5 as part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, holding a 2-star rating and ranking in the 48th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

One of the most encouraging patterns at Marie C Graham is the remarkable academic growth students experience as they move through the grades. In English Language Arts, proficiency climbs from just 21.9% in 3rd grade to 54.5% by 5th grade—a level that exceeds both district and state averages. Similarly, 5th grade math proficiency (38.2%) surpasses the state average, and 5th grade science scores (47.3%) outpace both the district and state, beating nearby schools like Tenniswood Elementary School (17.9%) and Donald J Yacks Elementary School (28.9%). The school also earns consistent 3-star ratings for its work with low-income students, who make up 60.4% of the population—a notable strength given the challenges many schools face with this demographic. The school has climbed steadily from a 1-star rating during the pandemic years to its current standing, showing real progress over time.

However, the school faces challenges worth noting. The gap between 3rd and 5th grade performance is significant, suggesting that early-grade foundational skills may need more attention. Chronic absenteeism (25.8%) remains above ideal levels, though it is better than several nearby schools including South River Elementary School's district peers. Marie C Graham spends a substantial $17,938 per student and maintains an excellent 12.9:1 student-teacher ratio—the lowest among comparable schools—yet South River Elementary School, which spends less and has larger classes, achieves higher overall rankings. This suggests that while resources are strong, other factors like instructional approaches or school culture may play a key role. For parents, the picture is of a school that excels at developing older elementary students and supports disadvantaged learners well, but is still working to strengthen its youngest students' foundational skills.
