Summary

Wass Elementary School in Troy, MI, is a highly regarded public school serving 413 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Troy School District, which ranks in the 94th percentile statewide.

Wass Elementary is an academic powerhouse with a remarkably consistent track record. It has earned a 5-star rating in 9 of the last 10 school years and currently ranks 86th out of 1,492 Michigan elementary schools (94th percentile). The school's literacy outcomes are exceptional—3rd and 4th graders achieved ELA proficiency rates of 70.5% and 74.6% in 2025-2026, nearly double the state average. Wass also stands out for its support of English Language Learners, who ranked 5th out of 188 schools statewide (97th percentile) in the most recent year. Attendance is another strength, with only 8.3% chronic absenteeism compared to 27.9% statewide. When compared to nearby schools, Wass outperforms its geographic rivals: Hill Elementary (0.83 miles away) has ranked between 247th and 280th statewide in recent years, while Troy Union Elementary has ranked between 360th and 533rd. The contrast is even starker with schools in neighboring districts—4th-grade math proficiency at Wass is 66.7%, while at Burr Elementary (1.46 miles away in Utica Community Schools) it is just 21.1%.

Wass is also notable for its efficiency—it spends less per student ($15,185) than most Troy peers like Martell Elementary ($18,501) yet achieves better results. The school's main areas for attention are math proficiency in upper grades (4th and 5th grade math trails district averages) and a recent dip in special education performance, which fell from the 88th to 41st percentile in 2025-2026. However, given the school's history of strong outcomes across diverse student groups, parents can expect a supportive, high-achieving environment with engaged families and effective teaching.
