Summary

Sheiko Elementary School in Orchard Lake, MI, is a PK-5 school within the highly rated West Bloomfield School District, serving 534 students in a suburban setting. While the district itself earns a 4-star rating, Sheiko’s own performance is more moderate, ranking in the 47th percentile statewide (2 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year—a dip from its 55th percentile (3 stars) ranking the prior year.

Compared to nearby schools, Sheiko’s academic metrics are generally lower. For example, Scotch Elementary School (97th percentile), West Maple Elementary School (94th percentile), and Lone Pine Elementary School (92nd percentile) all outperform Sheiko significantly. Even within its own district, Sheiko trails Gretchko Elementary School (72nd percentile) and Scotch, while performing at a similar level to Doherty Elementary School (41st percentile). Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are often 10-20 percentage points below the district average. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern at 22.3%, notably higher than Scotch (12.8%) or West Maple (6.1%).

However, there are bright spots. Sheiko’s 5th-grade students excel in Social Studies, with 37.8% proficiency—above the state average (27.5%) and outperforming nearby Kenbrook Elementary School (25%) and Doherty (20%). The school also shows relative strength for its African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the 63rd and 67th percentiles respectively. Yet, a sharp year-over-year decline in test scores (e.g., 3rd-grade ELA dropping from 40% to 29.5%) and high per-student spending ($17,323, higher than Scotch’s $15,363) suggest that financial resources alone aren’t driving results. For parents, Sheiko offers a diverse community with a unique social studies strength, but math proficiency in upper grades and attendance remain key areas to watch.

Open Quote Dishonest Principal

I am the parent of a child with learning disabilities. The principal suggested that my child repeat a grade because of the difficulties that he was having with math and reading. She said that he would barely be able to hang on in the next grade.

This sounds like reasonable advice, but I happen to know that teachers are all taught that retention should never be recommended for a child with a learning disability because it does no good. Instead, it almost inevitably results in psychological harm.

So why did Mrs. Sheiko recommend we do this? Is she ignorant of this fact? Or perhaps more interested in the higher test scores that would result when a child repeats a grade?
Test scores are used to evaluate principals. Was that her reason? I think so. Close Quote
