Summary

Walled Lake Elementary School is a public school in Walled Lake, MI, serving 301 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly-rated Walled Lake Consolidated Schools district.

This school stands out for its ability to achieve strong academic results with a diverse student body, where 44% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Despite this economic diversity, Walled Lake Elementary consistently ranks in the top 20-25% of Michigan elementary schools, and its performance with students from low socio-economic backgrounds is truly exceptional—ranking in the 96th percentile statewide for their academic growth and achievement. The school has shown a clear upward trajectory over recent years, moving from a 3-star rating to a consistent 4-star performer, with a peak 5-star year in 2024-2025. What makes this particularly impressive is how it compares to nearby schools with similar demographics. For instance, Meadowbrook Elementary School serves a similar population (51% free/reduced lunch) but ranks in only the 41st percentile statewide, while Walled Lake Elementary ranks in the 80th percentile. The school also outperforms several nearby schools with lower poverty rates, including Hickory Woods Elementary School, Loon Lake Elementary School, and Glengary Elementary School.

Academically, the school shows a distinct pattern of improvement as students progress through the grades. While 3rd-grade scores are near district averages, Walled Lake Elementary significantly outperforms both district and state averages in 4th and 5th grades—for example, 5th-grade math proficiency (56.1%) and social studies proficiency (50.9%) far exceed state averages of 32.2% and 27.5% respectively. The school also demonstrates exceptional support for English Language Learners, ranking in the 80th-90th percentile for three consecutive years. While chronic absenteeism (16.7%) remains a manageable challenge, it is notably better than the state average of 27.9%. For parents seeking a school that delivers strong academics while effectively supporting students from all backgrounds, Walled Lake Elementary is a standout choice within its district.
