Summary

Jack Harvey Elementary School in Sterling Heights, MI, is a mid-sized PK-6 school within the Utica Community Schools district, serving a student body where roughly two-thirds qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Jack Harvey performs right around the state average, consistently ranking in the 49th percentile over the past two years. However, it trails most of its immediate neighbors. For example, Dekeyser Elementary School (72nd percentile), Browning Elementary School (74th), and especially Messmore Elementary School (98th) all rank significantly higher. Even schools with similar economic profiles, like Dresden Elementary School (52nd) and Schwarzkoff Elementary School (68th), outperform Jack Harvey. One notable concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 19.6%—higher than the district average and well above schools like Dekeyser (11.4%) and Messmore (10.5%).

What makes Jack Harvey particularly interesting is its investment versus outcomes. The school spends $15,741 per student and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 14.5—both better than many higher-performing neighbors. Yet test scores don't reflect that extra resource commitment. The biggest red flag is in 3rd grade, where only 26% of students were proficient in ELA and 24% in math—far below district and state averages. However, the same school's 4th graders scored above district and state averages in both subjects, suggesting the school can be effective at fostering growth once students get settled. There are also bright spots: Hispanic students ranked in the 65th percentile statewide, and special education students previously ranked in the 67th percentile. For parents, this school offers small classes and dedicated support, but you'll want to pay close attention to your child's early-grade experience and attendance patterns.
