Summary

Edgemont Elementary School in Belleville, MI, is a K-5 school within the Van Buren Public Schools district, serving 358 students in a community where a majority of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Edgemont has faced persistent academic challenges, with proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math consistently falling below district and state averages. For example, only 17.3% of 4th graders were proficient in Math, compared to 29.7% in the district and 39.4% statewide. The school has received a 1-star rating for the past decade, placing it in the bottom quartile of Michigan schools. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with rates around 28%, which is higher than the state average. However, there is a positive trend in 4th-grade ELA scores, which have improved from 24.6% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 34.7% in 2025-2026, occasionally outpacing the district average.

One of the most striking findings is the comparison with Savage Road Elementary School, located just 0.76 miles away in the same district. Savage Road is a high-performing school (69th percentile) with dramatically higher proficiency rates—for instance, 60.7% vs. 34.7% in 4th-grade ELA—despite having a lower percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (42.1% vs. 55.6%) and a much lower chronic absenteeism rate (15.3% vs. 28.1%). Additionally, Edgemont spends significantly more per student ($20,925) than Savage Road ($16,110) and other district schools like Tyler Road Elementary ($15,511), yet this higher investment has not translated into better academic outcomes. This spending-performance gap, combined with the stark contrast to nearby Savage Road, suggests that a strategic reassessment of instructional programs and resource allocation may be needed to better serve Edgemont's students.
