Summary

Clear Lake Elementary School in Oxford, MI, serves 425 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Oxford Community Schools district, which ranks in the 65th percentile statewide.

Clear Lake is the highest-performing elementary school in its district, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the 76th percentile statewide (355 out of 1492) for the 2025-2026 school year. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are substantially higher than both district and state averages across all tested grade levels. For example, 5th-grade ELA proficiency is 56.1%, compared to the district's 42% and the state's 43.8%. The school shows a particularly notable strength in 5th-grade Science, where 54.5% of students are proficient—14.5 points above the state average. Clear Lake also has a significantly lower chronic absenteeism rate (19.4%) compared to the district average (32.3%), suggesting a more engaged student body. The school has demonstrated remarkable resilience, rebounding from a dip in the 2021-2022 school year to maintain high performance since. It has been especially effective with its low-income students, who ranked in the 87th-92nd percentile statewide in recent years. However, performance with Special Education students has declined sharply, from the 80th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 51st percentile in 2025-2026, indicating a need for enhanced support strategies for this group.

When compared to nearby schools, Clear Lake outperforms its same-district peers, Oxford Elementary (ranked 482nd) and Lakeville Elementary (ranked 798th). However, it generally trails top-tier schools in the neighboring Lake Orion Community Schools district, such as Webber School (95th percentile) and Bailey Lake Elementary (93rd percentile). For instance, in 5th-grade ELA, Clear Lake's 56.1% proficiency is below Webber's 73.2%. One area for potential growth is 5th-grade Social Studies, where proficiency (27.3%) barely matches the state average—a stark contrast to its strong performance in other subjects.
