Summary

UnionvilleSebewaing Elementary School is a small, rural school in Unionville, MI, serving 250 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the highly-rated Unionville-Sebewaing Area S.D. (ranked in the 84th percentile statewide).

This school has quietly become one of the strongest elementary schools in Michigan's Thumb region. Over the past decade, it has climbed from the 44th percentile to the 80th percentile in state rankings, earning a 4-star rating for five consecutive years. What truly sets it apart, though, is its success with students from low-income backgrounds—41.6% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet this subgroup ranked in the 91st percentile statewide in the most recent year. That's a remarkable jump from the 59th percentile just one year earlier. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.7%, compared to 14.2% for its own district and a staggering 27.9% statewide. When you compare it to nearby schools, the difference is stark: OwendaleGagetown Elementary School has a 40% chronic absenteeism rate, and AkronFairgrove Elementary School sits in the 21st-36th percentile range. Unionville-Sebewaing is a clear regional leader.

Academically, math is a standout subject. Proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades range from 59.5% to 66.7%—roughly 20-27 points above the state average and consistently higher than nearby Cass City Elementary and Laker Elementary. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency is 59.5% compared to just 36.8% at Cass City. The school spends about $15,593 per student, which is higher than some peers like Reese Elementary School ($13,363) but lower than others like McComb Elementary School ($17,102)—and it delivers top-tier results for that investment. While female students currently outperform males (84th vs. 70th percentile), the school's overall trajectory is one of sustained improvement, making it a dependable choice for families seeking strong academics and a highly engaged school community.
