Summary

Tyler Road Elementary School in Belleville, MI, is a K-4 school within the Van Buren Public Schools district, serving 388 students in a community where over half of the families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

When you look at test scores, Tyler Road faces real challenges. In the most recent school year, proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math came in below both the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, only about 31% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to roughly 41% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade. Perhaps the most striking comparison is with Savage Road Elementary School, a same-district school just 2.6 miles away. Savage Road's 4th graders scored nearly double Tyler Road's proficiency rates in both reading and math, and it ranks in the 69th percentile statewide versus Tyler Road's 29th. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern—at 32.6%, it's more than double Savage Road's rate of 15.3% and well above the state average. Missing that much instructional time makes it very difficult for students to keep up.

There are, however, some bright spots worth noting. In the 2024-2025 school year, African American students at Tyler Road ranked in the 71st percentile statewide—a 4-star performance that shows effective teaching is happening for this group. The school also spends more per student ($15,511) than some higher-performing nearby schools, which suggests the issue isn't a lack of funding but rather how resources are used. Grade-level scores bounce around quite a bit from year to year, which may point to inconsistent instruction between classrooms. For parents considering this school, it's worth asking the principal about plans to reduce absenteeism, replicate the success seen with specific student groups, and learn from the strategies used at Savage Road just down the road.

School is over crowded and under staffed. This stresses staff out and causes them to push for ADD drugs for children who do not need them. It is very infrequent that the homework reading worksheets do not have misspellings or slang in them (not a best practice when teaching children to read), low grades are often given for concepts that have not been taught, and district has wishy-washy & inconsistent curriculum that will nail your child to the wall when they go into 5th grade. Mr. Moore promised this was going to be resolved 5 years ago, when he was principal at Owen Intermediate now he is the Head of Curriculum, and nothing has changed. Do not expect clear communication, at any point, from anyone in this district, you will not get it... for last 3 years we have received classroom and teacher assignments on first day of school, because "they just didn't have time to get that information out before school started". We have received bus information, during the second week of school, rather than before the year began. Ann Arbor, Canton, Plymouth, Chelsea, and Dexter are your best bets, but you may need to relocate as several of these schools do not have School of Choice options.
On the upside... the school secretaries seem to be very nice and the high school is pretty nice, though I would only suggest it for advanced placement students as that seems to be the only really solid curriculum in the district. Close Quote
