Summary

Schroeder Elementary School is a highly rated K-5 school in Troy, MI, serving 423 students as part of the Troy School District, which ranks in the 94th percentile statewide.

Schroeder is an elite school with a long track record of excellence, consistently ranking in the top 100 elementary schools in Michigan for over a decade. In the 2025-2026 school year, it ranked 47th out of 1,492 elementary schools statewide (97th percentile). Its standout strength is in the early grades: 76.3% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts and 89.5% were proficient in Math—dramatically higher than state averages (38.2% and 42.9%, respectively). The school also excels with specific student groups, ranking 11th in the state for English Language Learners (94th percentile) and 37th for White students (97th percentile). Its chronic absenteeism rate of 10.2% is well below the state average of 27.9%, reflecting strong family engagement. Per-student spending is $16,141, a significant investment that supports these outcomes.

However, there are nuances worth noting. While 3rd and 4th-grade scores are stellar, 5th-grade proficiency dips—64.4% in ELA and 67.6% in Math—with ELA falling below the district average. This suggests a possible area for growth as students tackle more complex material. Comparing nearby schools, Bemis Elementary (0.63 miles away) outperforms Schroeder in 4th and 5th grades, while Schroeder has the edge in 3rd grade. Both are top-tier, so the choice may come down to your child's grade and learning style. Meanwhile, Alfred E Upton Elementary in Royal Oak Schools (2.68 miles away) ranks in the 52nd percentile, highlighting a stark gap between districts in close geographic proximity. For families seeking a strong academic foundation, Schroeder is an exceptional option, particularly for early elementary years.

Open Quote None of my children enjoyed Schroeder. We experienced all grade levels at this school over the years. In our experience, K-2 is very slow and does not engage kids who are already working beyond grade level. Grades 3-5 are tedious at times - lots of drudgery and busy work in grade 5, in particular - and the staff and leadership don't have a handle on bullying or bad behavior. Honestly, the worst behaved kids I've ever encountered at any school we've attended were at this school. Why is that? Surely kids living within a few city blocks of each other in Troy are not born inherently ruder than others. Rather, the PTO, teachers, and principal simply don't prioritize good citizenship. They don't engage with parents or motivate students to be their best selves. I've seen several families leave Schroeder in favor of other public schools or private schools. We were likewise glad to finally leave. Close Quote

Open Quote Schroeder is a wonderful school. I had two children there from K to 4th grade and they loved it there. Every teacher had her own style but I loved them all. My children were happy to get up in the morning to go to school. The school put a lot of effort to maintain good atmosphere by organizing extra activities and adding excitement to long days. All the teachers that we had a pleasure to know: Mrs. Tibbets, Mrs. Cueter, Mrs. Brorson, Mrs. Brozowski, Mrs. Stacey were fully committed to the best performance of children. We had to switch schools due to the move. My children are still in a good school in terms of education level, but I see big difference in the atmosphere. PTA is not as active as it was at Schroeder, kids claim that the "fun" element is missing. We miss Schroeder. Close Quote
