Summary

Indian Hills Elementary School in Washington, MI, is a K-5 school with 456 students in the Romeo Community Schools district, and it has recently earned a 5-star rating, ranking in the top 7% of Michigan elementary schools.

For parents, the most exciting news is that Indian Hills is the top-performing school in its district, and it’s not even close. In the latest school year, it ranked 100th out of 1,492 schools statewide, while its nearest district rival, HamiltonParsons Elementary, came in at 432nd. The school’s math program is a standout: 5th-grade math proficiency hit 77.3%, which is more than double the state average (32.2%) and even surpasses the 57.3% proficiency at Hugger Elementary in the higher-ranked Rochester Community School District. This means your child is likely getting instruction that rivals—or beats—schools in districts known for academic excellence. The school also shows consistent growth across grade levels in English Language Arts, with proficiency climbing from 58.7% in 3rd grade to 69.3% in 5th grade.

Another key strength is how well the school serves all students. It earned 5-star ratings for its White, Male, and Female student groups, showing that high achievement isn’t limited to one demographic. Attendance is also a major plus: chronic absenteeism is just 6.7%, far below the district rate of 18.9% and the state average of 27.9%. This is a dramatic recovery from a post-pandemic spike of 28.2% in 2021-2022, and it aligns with the school’s rise to its highest-ever ranking. Finally, Indian Hills does all this efficiently, spending $12,765 per student—less than Washington Elementary ($14,738) or Hevel Elementary ($15,238)—while outperforming both. If you’re looking for a school with strong academics, high attendance, and effective use of resources, Indian Hills is an excellent choice.
