Summary

Brewster Elementary School in Rochester Hills, MI, is a consistently high-performing PK-5 school with 377 students, nestled within the highly ranked Rochester Community School District (ranked 27th out of 625 districts in Michigan).

Brewster has maintained a 5-star rating for over a decade, placing it in the top 8% of elementary schools statewide every year since 2015. What truly sets Brewster apart is its exceptional support for all learners. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide for its special education students and the 97th percentile for its Asian students—a dramatic improvement from the prior year. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 9.0%, less than half the district average (18.5%) and a third of the state average (27.9%). Academically, 3rd-grade math proficiency hit 79.4%, nearly double the state average of 42.9%. With a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.1 and higher per-student spending ($17,905) than nearby schools like Baldwin Elementary School ($13,910) and Delta Kelly Elementary School ($14,587), Brewster offers a resource-rich environment for individualized attention.

While overall scores are stellar, there are nuances worth noting. A slight dip in 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency (58.3% vs. district's 67%) suggests a possible transitional challenge, and 5th-grade math scores have shown year-over-year volatility. The contrast with Rogers School, just 2.72 miles away in the Pontiac City School District, is stark—Rogers has a 70% free/reduced lunch rate and 65.6% chronic absenteeism, while Brewster's rates are 4.77% and 9.0%, respectively. Brewster's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (77.8%) is nearly eight times higher than Rogers' (9.76%). Ultimately, Brewster's excellence is broad-based, though its top-tier state ranking is especially bolstered by outstanding outcomes for specific student subgroups, making it a standout choice for families seeking a supportive, high-achieving elementary experience.
