Summary

Wiley Elementary School in Shelby Township, MI, is a mid-sized school serving 570 students from Pre-K through 6th grade as part of the highly rated Utica Community Schools district, and it consistently ranks in the 56th to 72nd percentile statewide—a solid, above-average performance that places it squarely in the middle of its high-achieving neighborhood.

One of the most notable things about Wiley is its position among nearby schools. Within a few miles, you'll find top performers like Crissman Elementary and Morgan Elementary, both ranking in the 86th percentile, while West Utica Elementary lags significantly behind at the 28th percentile. Wiley sits between these extremes, outperforming some neighbors by a wide margin while being outperformed by others. The school also shows a clear pattern of academic decline in 5th grade—math proficiency drops to just 22.4%, well below the district average of 37.8%—but students rebound strongly by 6th grade, where proficiency in both math (54%) and ELA (52.9%) exceeds district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is another area of concern at 20.6%, higher than the district average of 18.5% and notably higher than Crissman's 12.1% or Morgan's 9.9%.

Despite these challenges, Wiley demonstrates a real strength in supporting its economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 70th percentile statewide—higher than the school's overall ranking. The school also operates efficiently, spending $13,775 per student, the lowest among nearby schools, yet achieving results comparable to schools that spend over $16,000 per student. For parents, this suggests a school that does well with its resources and shows particular care for students who need extra support, even as it navigates some transition-year hurdles and attendance issues.
