Summary

Washington Elementary School in Marysville, MI, serves 460 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly-rated Marysville Public Schools district, which ranks in the 84th percentile statewide.

Washington Elementary is a solid, improving school that has climbed from the 31st percentile in 2021 to the 68th percentile today. Its biggest strength is English Language Arts, where proficiency rates in grades 3-5 consistently beat state averages by 8-10 percentage points. The school also does an exceptional job supporting students from lower-income backgrounds—nearly half of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet these students perform in the 77th-80th percentile statewide, a remarkable achievement. However, parents should know that math proficiency drops significantly in upper grades: only 45.7% of 4th graders and 40.7% of 5th graders are proficient, well below the district average and far behind Gardens Elementary School, where 77.6% of 4th graders and 63.3% of 5th graders meet math standards. The most concerning outlier is 5th-grade social studies, where just 20.4% of students are proficient—less than half the district average and below the state average of 27.5%.

Compared to its district peers, Washington is the lowest-ranked of the three elementary schools in Marysville Public Schools, trailing Gardens Elementary School (93rd percentile) and Morton Elementary School (77th percentile). Yet it outperforms schools in the nearby Port Huron Area School District despite spending less per student ($10,958 vs. $13,446-$21,548). Chronic absenteeism is also a positive—at 18%, it's well below the state average of 27.9%. For parents, this is a school with clear strengths in literacy and equity, but one where targeted support in upper-grade math and social studies could make a significant difference.
