Summary

Plymouth Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving 424 students in grades K-5 in Midland, Michigan. It is part of the Midland Public Schools district, which is ranked 65 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Plymouth Elementary has a 3-star rating and has been ranked between 301 and 493 out of around 1,400-1,500 Michigan elementary schools over the past 10 years.

One key area of concern for Plymouth Elementary is its academic performance. The school generally performs below the Midland Public Schools district and the state averages on M-STEP assessments across grades 3-5 in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in 2024-2025, Plymouth's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 38.5% compared to 50.9% for the district and 38.9% for the state. Additionally, Plymouth Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.8% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Over 50% of Plymouth Elementary students also qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to other schools in the district.

Interestingly, other magnet elementary schools in the Midland district, such as Siebert Elementary and Woodcrest Elementary, consistently outperform Plymouth Elementary on test scores and have higher state rankings, despite serving similar student populations. Additionally, Plymouth Elementary's state ranking has declined from the 300s to the 400s and 500s over the past 10 years, suggesting a potential need for improvement in academic outcomes. The school also faces equity gaps, as its performance for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, is generally lower than the overall school ranking.
