Summary

Green Elementary School in Chesterfield, MI, is a mid-sized PK-5 school within the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, serving 456 students and currently holding a 3-star rating (56th percentile statewide) for the 2025-2026 school year.

One of the most important things for parents to know is that Green Elementary has seen a notable dip in its statewide ranking this year, falling from a 4-star rating and the 70th percentile just two years ago to its lowest point in over a decade. This decline appears to be driven largely by a pronounced drop in 4th-grade performance. While 3rd and 5th graders meet or exceed district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math, only 28.4% of 4th graders are proficient in ELA (compared to 41.3% statewide) and 32.1% in Math (compared to 39.4% statewide). This pattern is unique to Green and wasn't present in the same group of students when they were in 3rd grade, suggesting a challenge specific to the current 4th-grade class or programming at that level. On a more positive note, 5th graders show real strength in STEM subjects, with Science proficiency at 47% and Math at 45.8%—both well above state averages.

Chronic absenteeism is another area to watch. While Green's rate of 20.2% is better than the district average of 28.7%, it remains higher than several nearby schools. For context, Dean A Naldrett School, just a mile away in the Anchor Bay School District, has a chronic absenteeism rate of only 9.3% and holds a 4-star rating (75th percentile), despite serving a similar demographic. This comparison suggests district-level policies and school climate may play a significant role in outcomes. Additionally, while Green performs adequately for its White and low-income students, its Multi-racial students rank in the 18th percentile—a 1-star rating—indicating a clear area where targeted support could make a meaningful difference.
