Summary

Orchard Hills Elementary School is a K-4 public school in Novi, MI, serving 453 students as part of the highly-ranked Novi Community School District.

Orchard Hills is a strong school that consistently ranks in the top 10-15% of all elementary schools in Michigan, currently holding a 5-star rating and a 90th percentile statewide ranking. What makes this particularly impressive is the school's student population: about 18.5% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, which is nearly three times higher than its closest Novi counterparts like Novi Woods Elementary School (6%) and Parkview Elementary School (7.4%). Despite serving a more economically diverse group of students, Orchard Hills achieves exceptional outcomes, with particularly strong results for its African American students and English Language Learners, who have scored in the 81st-98th percentile in recent years. The school also shows a notable strength in developing reading skills between 3rd and 4th grade—while 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (54.9%) lags the district average, 4th-grade proficiency (73.6%) actually exceeds it.

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism. At 19.4%, Orchard Hills has a significantly higher rate than the district average (14.7%) and more than double that of nearby Northville Public Schools (ranging from 7.6% to 9.8%). This is puzzling given the school's high academic output, but it represents the most actionable opportunity for improvement—if attendance improved, Orchard Hills could potentially rival the elite Northville schools like Amerman Elementary School and Moraine Elementary School, which rank in the 99th percentile. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $17,327 per pupil and maintaining a favorable 15.2:1 student-teacher ratio. While Orchard Hills is technically the lowest-ranked elementary school within its own high-achieving district, it remains a top-tier school that delivers excellent results despite facing more challenges than its neighbors.
