Summary

Jennings Elementary School in Quincy, MI, serves 408 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Quincy Community Schools district, which holds a 3-star rating. The school has shown impressive momentum, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 3-star rating in 2025-2026, with its statewide ranking jumping from the 43rd to the 55th percentile.

Jennings stands out as the academic leader in its area. In 3rd-grade math, 48.8% of students are proficient—well above the state average of 42.9% and higher than nearby schools like Williams Elementary (45.8%), Reynolds Elementary (41.8%), and Gier Elementary (30.8%). The school also excels in 3rd-grade reading, with a 42.7% proficiency rate that far surpasses Williams (25%), Reynolds (25.5%), and Gier (23.1%). This reading strength has remained consistent over the past four years, hovering near or above the state average. Additionally, Jennings spends about $14,033 per student—less than several neighboring schools that achieve far weaker results—and maintains a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.5%, well below the state average of 27.9%.

However, there are areas needing attention. While 3rd-grade math is a clear strength, proficiency drops sharply to 30.8% by 4th grade—a pattern that has persisted for several years. The school also shows a gender gap, with female students ranking in the 56th percentile compared to males at the 44th percentile. Most concerning is the performance of special education students, who rank in the 16th percentile statewide. For parents, this means Jennings offers strong early academics and efficient resource use, but you may want to ask about 4th-grade math support, strategies for engaging boys, and how the school plans to strengthen outcomes for special education learners.
