Summary

Issac Monfort Elementary School in Shelby Township, MI, is a mid-sized school within the Utica Community Schools district, serving 525 students in grades PK through 6 with a consistent 4-star state rating over the past five years.

This school has a clear strength in early elementary education. In 3rd grade, 61.8% of students were proficient in ELA and 76.3% in math—figures that are roughly 19 and 23 percentage points higher than the district average, respectively. The school also does exceptionally well supporting students from low-income households, with that subgroup ranking in the 85th percentile statewide. However, there is a notable "5th-grade slump" in math: proficiency drops to just 31%, which is below the district average (37.8%) and a 45-point decline from 3rd grade. This is not a general academic decline, as 5th-grade science proficiency (49.3%) actually surpasses district and state averages. Interestingly, nearby Morgan Elementary (1.06 miles away) and Crissman Elementary (1.39 miles away) achieve 5th-grade math proficiency rates of 53.1% and 68.6%, respectively, suggesting there are instructional strategies in those schools that could be adopted. Social studies in 5th grade (31%) also trails the district average (35.3%), while nearby Morgan (55.7%) and Crissman (47.1%) perform much higher.

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism. At 16.7%, Issac Monfort's rate is better than the state average (27.9%) but roughly double that of high-performing peers like Beck Centennial Elementary (7.5%) and Beacon Tree Elementary (9.4%). The school's spending per student ($15,144) and student-teacher ratio (17.1) are in line with neighboring schools, indicating performance is driven by instructional choices rather than resources. Special education results have been volatile—ranking in the 96th percentile one year and dropping to the 68th the next—which may reflect a small cohort size. Overall, Issac Monfort is a solid, dependable school with exceptional early-grade instruction and strong support for low-income students, but families should be aware of the upper-elementary math challenge and consider how it aligns with their child's needs.
