Summary

Schoolcraft Elementary School, located in the village of Schoolcraft, MI, serves 583 students in Pre-K through 6th grade as part of the highly-ranked Schoolcraft Community Schools district.

Schoolcraft Elementary stands out among nearby schools for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.9%—far better than the state average of 27.9% and dramatically lower than many comparable schools in Portage and Vicksburg, which range from 10.1% at Moorsbridge Elementary School to 35.4% at Oakland Academy. This suggests strong family-school connections and highly engaged students. The school also demonstrates remarkable consistency in academic performance across all grade levels, with English Language Arts proficiency ranging from 44.8% in 5th grade to 53.9% in 4th grade—a spread of only about 9 points. Math proficiency is similarly tight, indicating a well-aligned curriculum and effective instruction throughout the elementary years.

One of the school's clearest strengths is upper-elementary math. In 5th grade, 47.9% of students scored proficient in math, and in 6th grade that figure rose to 52.9%—both well above state averages (32.2% and 31.9%) and significantly higher than nearby schools like Sunset Lake Elementary School (29.7%) and Woodland Elementary School (28.3%). Schoolcraft also excels in serving students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide for this subgroup. Notably, the school serves students through 6th grade—unlike most nearby elementaries that end at 5th—and its 6th-grade scores are among its strongest, showing successful preparation for the middle school transition. All of this is achieved with per-student spending of $14,709, which is lower than several neighboring schools with similar or weaker results, making Schoolcraft a cost-effective, high-performing choice for families.
