Summary

Tenniswood Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school in Clinton Township, Michigan, serving 344 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, which is ranked 275 out of 613 districts in the state.

Tenniswood Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 37.5% for the district and 38.9% statewide. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.5% to 47.6% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, Tenniswood has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a concentration of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, the nearby Marie C Graham Elementary School and Donald J Yacks Elementary School, which are also part of the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district, generally perform better academically than Tenniswood. However, these nearby schools also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant percentage of students from low-income families, suggesting that the issues at Tenniswood are not unique to the school but are more widespread in the district and the surrounding area.
