Summary

Indian Woods Elementary School in Kimball, MI, is a PK-5 school with 357 students, serving a community within the Port Huron Area School District. The school has seen a gradual decline in its overall state ranking over the past several years, moving from a 3-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 1-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, now placing it in the 24th percentile statewide.

One of the most significant concerns is the school's performance in upper elementary grades. Fifth-grade math proficiency has steadily declined, falling to just 16.7% in 2025-2026—roughly half the state average of 32.2%. Similarly, 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency dropped sharply from 35.5% to 22.2% in a single year, well below both district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is also a critical issue, affecting 24.1% of students, a rate that has been climbing and is more than double that of nearby Edison Elementary School (10.6%). This attendance challenge is likely a major contributor to the academic struggles, and improving it could be one of the most impactful ways to boost student achievement.

There are, however, some bright spots. Third-grade math proficiency (35.6%) actually exceeds the district average (27.9%), suggesting that early-grade instruction may be more effective. The contrast with nearby schools is stark: Edison Elementary, just 2.38 miles away, ranks in the 77th percentile (4 stars), and Gardens Elementary School in the Marysville Public Schools district consistently ranks in the 93rd-97th percentile. While Indian Woods faces real challenges, the success of these nearby schools demonstrates that improvement is possible with targeted interventions focused on attendance and upper-grade instruction.
