Summary

Gretchko Elementary School in West Bloomfield, MI, is a mid-sized school serving 331 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the highly-rated West Bloomfield School District.

Gretchko is a school on the rise. In just one year, it jumped from a 3-star to a 4-star rating, now ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide. This momentum is especially visible in 5th grade, where English Language Arts proficiency soared from 51.4% to 67.3% and science jumped from 45.7% to 59.2%—gains far outpacing district averages. The school also shines in 5th-grade science and social studies, beating both district and state averages. Another standout strength is attendance: Gretchko's chronic absenteeism rate is just 17.0%, dramatically lower than the district's 31.5% and the state's 27.9%, creating a stable learning environment. Additionally, the school performs exceptionally well with its African American students, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for their academic growth. With a low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, families can expect more individualized attention.

However, there are areas of concern. Most notably, 4th-grade math proficiency sits at just 28.3%—a steep drop from the school's own 3rd-grade score of 56.1% and well below the district average of 47.3%. This suggests a possible challenge in the transition to 4th-grade math curriculum. When compared to nearby schools, Gretchko significantly outperforms most elementary schools in the neighboring Waterford School District, such as Beaumont Elementary School and Riverside Elementary School. Yet it trails its same-district peer, Scotch Elementary School, a top-tier school (97th percentile) that outperforms Gretchko in every subject and grade. For parents, Gretchko offers a solid, improving education with strong attendance and notable strengths, though the 4th-grade math dip is worth monitoring.

I am obsessed with this school. I have 4 kids and I couldn't imagine a better education and a school so dedicated to early education. That's why they are a blue ribbon school. It's so clean and very technologically equipped Close Quote
