Summary

Village Oaks Elementary School in Novi, MI, serves 499 students in Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the highly-rated Novi Community School District, which ranks in the 98th percentile statewide.

Village Oaks is a solid, above-average school that significantly outperforms Michigan state averages—for example, 4th-grade math proficiency sits at 70.9% compared to the state's 39.4%. The school has consistently ranked in the top 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade, never dropping below the 87th percentile. One standout strength is its exceptional work with English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking 5th out of 173 schools statewide in 2024-2025. Math is a relative strength across all grade levels. However, within the competitive Novi district, Village Oaks is currently the lowest-performing of the four elementary schools. In 2025-2026, Parkview Elementary ranked 29th statewide and Novi Woods Elementary ranked 55th, while Village Oaks ranked 173rd. This gap is most noticeable in 3rd-grade ELA, where Village Oaks scores 60.7% proficiency versus Parkview's 78.8%. Interestingly, Village Oaks spends the most per student ($18,768) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.4:1) in the district, yet achieves the lowest test scores—a discrepancy that may reflect serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (13.63%) than its sister schools.

Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with a rate of 16.5% (2024-2025) that has persistently exceeded the district average since the pandemic, when it was just 9.5%. The school's weakest performance area is with low socio-economic status students, who rank in the 70th percentile statewide. For families considering nearby options, Thornton Creek Elementary in the neighboring Northville Public Schools district (just 3 miles away) ranks 17th statewide with significantly higher proficiency rates. Village Oaks offers strong academics, particularly in math, a diverse learning environment, and exceptional ELL support, though families seeking the absolute highest-performing schools in the area may find stronger options in adjacent districts.

Wednesday, October 3, 2018

It seems like the teachers in this school are less experienced and they want kids to learn fast paced rather than having good and structured foundation in math or in English. With this fast paced study, students/kids will lack fundamentals which will be very costly for their dear future Close Quote
