Summary

Summerfield Elementary School in Petersburg, MI, is a welcoming Pre-K through 6th-grade school serving 312 students within the highly-regarded Summerfield Schools district, which ranks in the 85th percentile statewide. The school has earned a solid reputation, consistently receiving a 3-star rating over the past decade, with a notable peak of 4 stars in the 2023-2024 school year.

Where Summerfield truly shines is in its upper elementary grades. In 5th and 6th grade, students significantly outperform state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. This is especially true in 6th-grade Math, where 51.1% of students are proficient compared to just 31.9% statewide—a nearly 20-point advantage. The school also boasts a standout science program, with 5th graders achieving a 56% proficiency rate versus the 40% state average, a trend that has held steady for three consecutive years. Parents should note that early-grade scores (3rd grade) can fluctuate more dramatically year-to-year, which is common and often reflects the specific needs of individual class cohorts rather than overall school quality.

Compared to its neighbors, Summerfield offers a compelling mix of strengths. It significantly outperforms Britton Deerfield SchoolDeerfield Building, which ranks in the 43rd percentile and struggles with higher absenteeism. While it trails the top-tier Bedford Public Schools elementaries like Douglas Road Elementary School and Monroe Road Elementary School, Summerfield achieves its results more efficiently, spending less per student ($12,603) than many peers while still outperforming higher-spending schools like Blissfield Elementary. The school also does exceptional work supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, earning a 4-star rating for this group. Chronic absenteeism (16.4%) is below the state average but higher than some nearby districts, making regular attendance a key area for family focus.
