Summary

New Lothrop Elementary School serves 505 students in Pre-K through 6th grade in the small community of New Lothrop, Michigan, about 10 miles northwest of Flint, and is part of the highly-rated New Lothrop Area Public Schools district.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide and earning a 4-star rating. The most impressive numbers come from mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 50% to 62.4% across grade levels—nearly double the state average. For example, 5th grade math proficiency hits 62.4%, compared to just 26.7% at nearby Clio Intermediate School and 26.1% at Dieck Elementary School. Science is another hidden strength, with 54.1% of 5th graders proficient versus 38.9% statewide. The school also achieves remarkable results with its economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 87th percentile statewide—a rare feat that shows the school's support systems are effectively reaching those who need the most help.

Perhaps the most striking differentiator is attendance. New Lothrop's chronic absenteeism rate is just 7.4%, compared to the state average of 27.9% and rates of 32.7% at Clio Intermediate and 28.6% at Northridge Academy. Even Seymour Elementary School, the next-best performer in the region, trails at 9.5%. This attendance advantage likely reflects a strong school culture and family engagement. The school achieves all this while spending just $9,825 per student—roughly 25-40% less than nearby schools like Carter Elementary School ($16,504)—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.3:1. With consistent year-over-year improvement since the pandemic dip, New Lothrop Elementary demonstrates that cost-effective excellence is achievable.
