Summary

Tenniswood Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Clinton Township, MI, serving 356 students within the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, where a majority of families (71%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

For parents, the most important thing to know is that Tenniswood is currently facing significant academic challenges. State test scores show that proficiency rates in reading and math are roughly half (or less) of the district average. For example, only about 21% of 4th graders are proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 40% across the district, and just 12% are proficient in math versus 39% districtwide. This pattern holds across all grade levels and subjects, including science and social studies. The school's overall state ranking has also slipped recently, dropping from the 32nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 17th percentile in 2025-2026. When compared to nearby schools like Marie C Graham Elementary School (1.5 miles away) or Donald J Yacks Elementary School (less than a mile away), Tenniswood's scores are notably lower—for instance, 5th-grade reading proficiency is 23% at Tenniswood versus 55% at Graham.

There is some encouraging news. Chronic absenteeism, which was a severe problem hovering around 52% in 2021-2023, has dropped to 30% in the most recent school year—a real improvement, though still above the state average. The school also spends more per student ($15,476) than some higher-performing nearby schools, indicating that resources are being directed toward the school. However, this spending hasn't yet translated into better test scores. One bright spot: the school's ranking for African American students (35th percentile) is actually higher than its overall ranking, suggesting some programs may be working relatively well for that group. For parents considering this school, it's important to understand that while attendance is improving, academic performance has not yet followed, and the school appears to be serving a population with high economic need that may require additional support at home.
