Lewis Maire Elementary School in Grosse Pointe, MI, is a top-performing K-4 school with 252 students, part of the highly rated Grosse Pointe Public Schools district.

In the most recent testing year, 82.2% of 4th graders were proficient in English Language Arts and 80% were proficient in math—nearly double the state average and more than 20 percentage points above the district average. The school also shows a remarkable "4th grade leap," with students making significant gains in reading between 3rd and 4th grade.

Lewis Maire students achieve reading proficiency at rates 10-11 times higher than students at these nearby schools, which also struggle with chronic absenteeism above 73%. While Lewis Maire has seen a slight decline from its peak ranking of 11th in the state a decade ago, it remains an elite institution. The school also spends less per student ($16,464) than many nearby schools, demonstrating highly efficient use of resources to deliver exceptional outcomes.
