Summary

Hevel Elementary is a public elementary school located in Washington, MI, serving 428 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Romeo Community Schools district, which is ranked 132 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hevel Elementary consistently outperforms the Romeo Community Schools district and the state of Michigan in M-Step test scores across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, Hevel Elementary's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 50.9% compared to 48.5% for the district and 38.9% for the state, and its 5th-grade Math proficiency rate was 49.2% compared to 47.6% for the district and 32.9% for the state. The school's performance in Science and Social Studies is also noteworthy, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state. Hevel Elementary has a strong performance across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, and white students, and its performance for low socioeconomic status students is particularly impressive, ranking 139 out of 1,346 Michigan elementary schools in 2024-2025.

However, Hevel Elementary has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19.5% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. The school also has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,351 to $14,960 over the past few years, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. Interestingly, while Hevel Elementary generally outperforms the nearby schools within the Romeo Community Schools district, some schools in the neighboring Utica Community Schools district, such as Crissman Elementary and Morgan Elementary, have demonstrated even stronger academic results, particularly in certain grade levels and subject areas.
