Summary

Moorsbridge Elementary School in Portage, MI, is a high-achieving public school serving 591 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Portage Public Schools district.

Moorsbridge consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Michigan, currently placing in the 88th percentile statewide. This academic excellence is especially evident in the upper elementary grades. In 4th and 5th grade, proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies significantly outpace both district and state averages. For example, 5th-grade Science proficiency (67%) and Social Studies proficiency (55%) are roughly 16 percentage points above the district average and more than double the state average in Social Studies. The school also excels at supporting diverse learners, with particularly strong results for Hispanic students (ranking 9th statewide) and female students. When compared to nearby schools, Moorsbridge stands out clearly: it outperforms Amberly Elementary and 12th Street Elementary in the same district, and far exceeds schools like Woodland Elementary and Haverhill Elementary.

Beyond test scores, Moorsbridge fosters a highly engaged student body. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 10.1%—less than half the state average of 27.9% and significantly lower than nearby schools like Woods Lake Elementary (39.2%) or Paramount Charter Academy (39.9%). Notably, Moorsbridge achieves these outstanding results while spending less per student ($12,273) than many lower-performing peers, such as Woodland ($20,067) or Haverhill ($18,427). This efficiency, combined with a higher student-teacher ratio, points to a strong school culture and effective instructional practices as the drivers of success. For parents seeking a school where children thrive academically in a supportive, engaged environment, Moorsbridge is a standout choice in the Portage area.
