Summary

Bemis Elementary School in Troy, MI, is a K-5 school serving 441 students within the highly regarded Troy School District, and it consistently ranks among the top 2% of elementary schools in Michigan.

For parents, the most striking takeaway is Bemis's exceptional academic performance, particularly in the upper elementary grades. In 4th grade, 86.2% of students are proficient in English Language Arts and 85.1% in math—figures that outpace the district average by 18 and 13 percentage points, respectively. This strength continues into 5th grade, where Bemis's ELA proficiency (84.2%) is a remarkable 20 points higher than its closest neighbor, Schroeder Elementary, despite both schools serving similar student populations. The school's success isn't limited to one subject; proficiency rates are uniformly high across ELA, math, and science, indicating a well-rounded program. Even more impressive, Bemis ranks in the 96th percentile for serving students from low socio-economic backgrounds and the 92nd percentile for English Language Learners, showing that its effectiveness extends to all learners. While the school's 2025-2026 state ranking of 22nd is a slight dip from its recent #7 finish in 2022-2023, driven largely by a drop in 3rd-grade reading scores, the fact that 4th-grade scores surged to over 86% suggests the school successfully remediates any early challenges by the following year.

Beyond test scores, Bemis demonstrates strong operational health. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 10.9%—less than half the state average and improving dramatically from a post-pandemic high of 24%. The school also achieves its top-tier results while spending less per student ($15,091) than many comparable schools, including Martell Elementary ($18,501) and Pembroke Elementary ($22,891) in Birmingham Public Schools. For families considering their options, Bemis offers a compelling combination of elite academics, effective teaching for diverse learners, and efficient use of resources—a school that delivers exceptional results across the board.
