Summary

Alaiedon Elementary School in Mason, MI, is a highly-rated public school serving 375 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Mason Public Schools (Ingham) district, a community known for its strong educational focus and family-friendly atmosphere.

Alaiedon stands out as the top-performing traditional public elementary school in its immediate area, consistently earning a 4-star rating for five straight years. Its academic results are particularly impressive in the early grades. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency reached 88% in the 2025-2026 school year—far exceeding the state average of 42.9% and even surpassing the top Okemos school, Okemos Public MontessoriCentral, which posted 81.4%. This performance gap is also stark when compared to district peers like North Aurelius Elementary School (48.1%) and Steele Street Elementary School (43.6%). The school also boasts an exemplary attendance record, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 13.8%—less than half the state average of 27.9%—and achieves these results while spending less per student ($14,632) than many neighboring districts, including all Okemos Public Schools.

However, parents should be aware of a notable challenge: academic momentum appears to fade in the upper grades. While 3rd-grade scores are exceptional, 5th-grade math proficiency drops dramatically to just 29.3%, below both the district (33.6%) and state (32.2%) averages. This "3rd-grade peak" pattern has persisted for several years, suggesting a systemic issue in sustaining math gains. Additionally, while the school excels with Special Education students (ranking in the 96th percentile statewide), outcomes for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds have been more inconsistent. Despite these concerns, Alaiedon remains highly competitive—its overall state rank of 363rd is comparable to Cornell Elementary School (339th) and Hiawatha Elementary School (310th) in the prestigious Okemos district, making it a standout choice for families prioritizing strong early elementary education.
