Summary

Stevens T Mason Elementary School in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI, serves 274 students in grades K-4 and is part of the highly-rated Grosse Pointe Public Schools district, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 91st percentile statewide.

While Mason is part of a top-tier district, its own academic performance tells a more complex story. The school's state ranking places it in the middle of the pack (43rd percentile for 2025-2026), significantly below its district peers. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 33.3% of Mason students are proficient compared to a 61.7% district average—a 28-point gap. Similar gaps exist in 4th grade ELA (39.2% vs. 61%) and 4th grade math (31.4% vs. 59.5%). This pattern has been consistent across multiple years, suggesting a systemic challenge rather than a one-year anomaly. The contrast with Kerby Elementary School, just 2.31 miles away, is striking: Kerby ranks in the 92nd-99th percentile with test scores nearly double those of Mason, despite sharing the same district resources, curriculum, and leadership.

Mason serves a distinctly different student population than its immediate district peers, with 39% of students receiving free/reduced lunch compared to rates of 7-17% at nearby Ferry Elementary School, John Monteith Elementary School, and Kerby. The school spends more per student ($22,767) than any of its district counterparts, yet this higher investment has not translated into commensurate academic gains. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 28.7% in 2023-2024 to 17.3% in 2024-2025, though it still lags behind Kerby's 8.3% rate. Despite being the lowest-performing school in its district, Mason still outperforms nearly all nearby schools from surrounding districts—its 4th grade ELA proficiency rate is more than double that of Elmwood Elementary School and nearly five times that of Tyrone Elementary School—highlighting the powerful influence of the district environment. The school also demonstrates a notable strength in serving its African American students, who ranked in the 85th percentile statewide in 2023-2024.
