Summary

Wixom Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 425 students in grades PK-5 within the Walled Lake Consolidated Schools district in Wixom, Michigan. The school has consistently ranked in the top 30-45% of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 284 out of 1,470 schools (top 19%) and a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wixom Elementary's key strengths include strong student performance, with students consistently outperforming the state average on M-STEP assessments across grades 3-5 in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in 2024-2025, 43.2% of 3rd graders, 57.6% of 4th graders, and 40% of 5th graders scored proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 38.9%, 42.4%, and 44.4% respectively. The school also has particularly strong performance among African American and White student subgroups. However, the school has seen a decline in proficiency rates across several grade levels and subject areas over the past few years, which warrants further investigation.

While Wixom Elementary's performance remains strong compared to the state, the school faces some challenges, including a rising chronic absenteeism rate that reached 30.8% in 2022-2023, higher than the state average of 32.4%. Additionally, the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 31.65% in 2021-2022 to 37.65% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. The school and district will need to address these concerns to ensure continued success for all students.

Open Quote 4t grade teachers are horrible. Hope your child does not need to learn anything. They wont learn it in 4th grade. Class sizes are way too big. 29 students is ridiculous and the teachers argue with you instead of trying to find a resolution Close Quote
