Better than 96% of Michigan elementary schools

Summary

Novi Woods Elementary School in Novi, MI, is a highly successful K-4 school serving 496 students in an affluent area of the Novi Community School District, consistently ranking among Michigan's elite elementary schools.

Novi Woods is a top-tier school with a decade-long track record of excellence. In the 2025-2026 school year, it ranked 55th out of 1,492 elementary schools statewide (96th percentile), a slight dip from its 10th-place ranking in 2023-2024 but still placing it in the top 4% of all Michigan schools. The school shows particular strength in 3rd grade, where 72.2% of students were proficient in ELA and 78.3% in Math—nearly double the state averages. What truly sets Novi Woods apart is its remarkable success with all student groups. Its English Language Learner (ELL) students ranked 4th out of 173 schools statewide (98th percentile), and its low-income students ranked 21st out of 1,352 schools (98th percentile). This demonstrates the school's effectiveness at ensuring every child achieves at high levels, regardless of background. The school also operates efficiently, spending $16,137 per student—less than several comparable peers like Deerfield Elementary ($17,094) and Orchard Hills Elementary ($17,327)—while achieving better academic outcomes.

While Novi Woods is a star in its district, it faces stiff competition from neighboring Northville Public Schools. In 4th-grade Math, Novi Woods' proficiency rate of 70.6% is excellent but lower than rates at Moraine Elementary (91.4%), Amerman Elementary (85.5%), and Thornton Creek Elementary (85.2%). Interestingly, nearby Parkview Elementary (just 0.35 miles away) jumped to 29th place in 2025-2026, surpassing Novi Woods' 55th rank. However, Novi Woods' historical performance is far more consistent—while Parkview's rank fluctuated from 116th to 29th, Novi Woods has remained in the top 100 for nearly a decade. Chronic absenteeism at 12.1% is better than the state average of 27.9% and the district's 14.7%, though higher than at nearby Northville schools like Silver Springs Elementary (7.8%). For parents seeking a stable, predictably excellent education with strong support for all learners, Novi Woods is an outstanding choice.
