Summary

Keewahdin Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fort Gratiot, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 526. The school is part of the Port Huron Area School District, which is ranked 450 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Keewahdin Elementary consistently performs better than the district and state averages on M-Step assessments across grades 3-5 in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in 2024-2025, Keewahdin's 5th-grade students scored 39.8% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 35.6% for the district and 44.4% for the state. However, the school faces challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.9% to 37.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Keewahdin also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.93% to 58.17% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools in the Port Huron Area School District, Keewahdin outperforms most, such as Cleveland Elementary, Woodrow Wilson Elementary, and Garfield Elementary, on academic measures. However, it lags behind the higher-performing Edison Elementary School, which is also in the district. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates at Keewahdin could be a potential area of focus for the school and district to improve overall performance and outcomes for its students.
