Summary

Ezra Eby Elementary School in Napoleon, MI, serves 564 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Napoleon Community Schools district, a mid-tier district in Michigan.

Ezra Eby consistently outperforms most elementary schools within a 10-mile radius. While its overall statewide ranking sits in the 59th percentile, nearby schools like Northeast Elementary School (5th percentile) and John R Lewis Elementary (7th percentile) rank dramatically lower. For example, in 4th-grade English Language Arts, Ezra Eby's proficiency rate (33.3%) is nearly three times higher than at Northeast Elementary (12%) and East Jackson Elementary (10%). The school also has a lower rate of students eligible for free or reduced lunch (38.65%) compared to many Jackson-area schools, and its chronic absenteeism rate (20.4%) is well below the state average (27.9%), indicating strong student engagement.

One standout strength is 5th-grade science, where 62.9% of students are proficient—far exceeding the state average of 40% and beating even the highly-ranked Columbia Upper Elementary School (50%). The school also shows strong, improving results for economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 66th percentile statewide. However, there are areas for growth: Special Education students rank in the bottom quarter of schools statewide, and proficiency in 3rd and 4th-grade ELA and math fluctuates significantly year to year. Notably, Sharp Park Academy, despite being in the lower-performing Jackson Public Schools district, posts test scores that rival Ezra Eby's, showing that individual school leadership can make a big difference.
