Summary

North Aurelius Elementary School in Mason, MI, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 371 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the highly-rated Mason Public Schools (Ingham) district.

The most impressive thing about North Aurelius is its students' attendance. Only 11% of students are chronically absent—that's less than half the district average of 21.3% and about a third of the state average of 27.9%. This is notably better than nearby schools like Wilcox Elementary School (20.7%) and even its high-achieving district peer Alaiedon Elementary School (13.8%). Academically, the school holds a steady 3-star rating, ranking in the 51st–58th percentile statewide. It shows a particular strength in 3rd-grade math, where 48.1% of students are proficient—above the state average of 42.9%. The school also does well supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 54th percentile for that subgroup, which suggests good equity in outcomes.

However, there are some areas to watch. Within its own district, North Aurelius is consistently outperformed by Alaiedon Elementary, which ranks in the 76th–80th percentile. For example, Alaiedon's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 88% compared to North Aurelius's 48.1%. There's also a notable gender gap that recently flipped: in the latest year, boys ranked in the 64th percentile while girls ranked in the 42nd percentile—a reversal from the prior year when girls outperformed boys. Additionally, 5th-grade scores in ELA, Math, and Science have stagnated or declined over the past three years, suggesting the school may be stronger in early grades than upper elementary. On the positive side, North Aurelius significantly outperforms nearby Lansing Public School District schools like Attwood School and Gardner International School in every metric, and it achieves these results with moderate per-student spending of $14,539.
