Summary

Edgerton Trails Elementary is a highly-rated public school in Rockford, MI, serving 454 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the top-performing Rockford Public Schools district.

For parents, the most striking finding is Edgerton Trails' exceptional strength in early math. The school leads the entire Rockford district in 3rd-grade math proficiency, with 84.1% of students meeting standards—a full 9 points above the district average and more than 40 points above the state average. This is a clear signal that the school's foundational math instruction is working very well. However, the picture becomes more nuanced in other subjects. While 4th-grade reading scores exceed the district average, 3rd and 5th-grade English Language Arts scores fall slightly below it. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency (56.1%) is its weakest area relative to district peers, trailing top performers like Crestwood Elementary and Roguewood Elementary by nearly 20 points. It's worth noting that this 5th-grade cohort also shows the lowest math and reading scores, which may point to a specific group of students affected by pandemic disruptions rather than a systemic issue.

Another important insight for parents is the school's effectiveness with different groups of students. Edgerton Trails ranks in the 97th percentile for female student achievement but only the 87th percentile for male students—a notable gap that suggests instructional approaches may resonate more strongly with girls. On the other hand, the school is remarkably effective with its low-income students, ranking in the 92nd percentile nationally for this subgroup despite having a relatively small population of economically disadvantaged learners. This indicates strong support systems for closing achievement gaps. When comparing to nearby out-of-district options, Edgerton Trails dramatically outperforms schools like Appleview Elementary in Sparta and Pine Island Elementary in Comstock Park, where 5th-grade math proficiency is roughly half of Edgerton Trails' rate. While the school's state ranking slipped slightly from the 97th to 94th percentile, it remains an excellent choice for families seeking a strong academic foundation within a highly-regarded district.
