Summary

Keith Elementary School in West Bloomfield, MI, is a K-5 school with 542 students, part of the highly-rated Walled Lake Consolidated Schools district, serving a relatively affluent community where only about 20% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Keith Elementary is a solid, consistently strong school, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade. Its overall academic performance ranks in the 75th percentile statewide, and the school has made impressive strides in student attendance—chronic absenteeism has dropped from 20.9% in 2021-2022 to just 11.5% in 2024-2025, which is less than half the state average of 27.9%. However, a closer look at the data reveals some areas where the school could improve. There is a notable gender gap: female students rank in the 75th percentile while male students rank in the 68th percentile, a gap that has been persistent and even wider in previous years. Additionally, the school shows a "U-shaped" performance pattern by grade, with 3rd and 5th graders exceeding district averages but 4th graders experiencing a significant dip across all subjects—for example, in math, 3rd grade proficiency is 58.2% and 5th grade is 48.6%, but 4th grade falls to 42.2%. This consistent drop suggests a potential area for targeted curriculum review.

When compared to nearby schools, Keith performs well but is not the top option in the immediate area. Just 1.79 miles away, Scotch Elementary School (in the West Bloomfield School District) ranks in the 97th percentile with dramatically higher proficiency rates—for instance, 80.2% vs. 58.2% in 3rd-grade math—despite having a similar percentage of students on free/reduced lunch. Keith also spends more per student ($15,159) than some higher-performing peers like Commerce Elementary ($12,269), suggesting that spending efficiency and instructional strategies could be optimized. On the positive side, Keith significantly outperforms nearby Waterford School District schools like Houghton Elementary and Beaumont Elementary, which struggle to meet state averages. For parents, Keith is a dependable, well-attended school, but those seeking the absolute highest academic outcomes in the area may want to explore nearby Scotch Elementary as well.
