Summary

Scotch Elementary School in West Bloomfield, MI, is a public school serving 556 students in grades PK through 5, and it has recently become one of the highest-performing elementary schools in the state.

Scotch Elementary has undergone a remarkable transformation. Just a few years ago, it held a 3-star rating, but it now boasts a top-tier 5-star rating and ranks 38th out of nearly 1,500 elementary schools statewide—placing it in the 97th percentile. This isn't just about overall scores; the school achieves excellent results consistently across all grade levels. For example, 3rd-grade reading proficiency sits at 72.5%, compared to a 46% average for the rest of the West Bloomfield School District. The contrast with nearby schools in the same district is stark: 4th-grade reading proficiency at Scotch is 71.9%, while at Sheiko Elementary School it's just 34.1% and at Doherty Elementary School it's 39.7%. Even when compared to highly-rated schools in neighboring districts like Lone Pine Elementary School (Bloomfield Hills) or Oakley Park Elementary School (Walled Lake), Scotch's 5th-grade math scores (66%) are competitive with or exceed theirs.

What truly sets Scotch apart is its success with all students. The school ranks in the 96th percentile or higher for African American, White, Multi-racial, and Special Education students. Most impressively, it ranks 8th in the state for its effectiveness with Special Education students—a dramatic jump from the 28th percentile just two years ago. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at 12.8%, less than half the district rate of 31.5%, indicating strong family engagement. This combination of high achievement, equity across student groups, and a positive school climate makes Scotch a standout choice for parents seeking an excellent and inclusive elementary education.
