Summary

Masonic Heights Elementary School in Saint Clair Shores, MI, serves 466 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Lake Shore Public Schools (Macomb) district. This school has become a standout in the area, showing remarkable improvement over the past few years—climbing from a 1-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 3-star rating today, with a state percentile rank that jumped from the 27th to the 52nd percentile. That kind of upward momentum is rare, and it makes Masonic Heights the highest-performing elementary school among its immediate district peers, outpacing both Rodgers Elementary School (41st percentile) and Violet Elementary School (46th percentile).

One of the school’s clear strengths is its 4th-grade instruction. In the most recent school year, 4th graders posted a 52.9% math proficiency rate—far above the district average of 35.1% and the state average of 39.4%, and dramatically higher than Rodgers Elementary’s 12.2% at the same grade level. Masonic Heights also excels in supporting its African American students, who ranked in the 82nd percentile statewide, a sign that the school is effectively closing achievement gaps. Additionally, chronic absenteeism here is notably lower (25.8%) than the district average (38.5%) and much better than nearby schools like Robbie Hall Parker School (57.5%) and John R Kment Elementary School (44.2%), suggesting strong student engagement and attendance support.

However, there are areas to watch. While 4th grade shines, 5th-grade math proficiency drops to 28.4%, below both district and state averages—a pattern seen for two consecutive years. There’s also a notable gender gap, with male students ranking in the 62nd percentile while female students rank in the 30th percentile. On the positive side, Masonic Heights achieves these results while spending less per student ($13,052) than nearby schools like Rodgers and Violet, which spend over $15,000, indicating efficient use of resources. For parents seeking a school with strong momentum, excellent 4th-grade academics, and a commitment to equity, Masonic Heights is a compelling choice.
