Summary

Gudith Elementary School in Brownstown, MI, is a PK-4 school serving 385 students within the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District, a district rated 4 stars and ranked in the 74th percentile statewide. The school has earned a 3-star rating for three consecutive years, placing it in the 55th percentile of Michigan elementary schools, and serves a student body where about 63% qualify for free or reduced lunch—a higher rate than its same-district peers.

One of Gudith's most notable strengths is its exceptional work with African American students, who have consistently scored in the 91st–97th percentile statewide in recent years—a remarkable achievement that sets the school apart from typical state and local trends. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $42,349 per student in 2024-2025, which is more than double what nearby schools like Yake Elementary spend. This funding supports a very favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4, significantly lower than district counterparts like Wegienka Elementary (16.4) and Erving Elementary (16.6), allowing for more individualized attention.

However, parents should be aware of a few challenges. Gudith shows a clear academic decline between 3rd and 4th grade—while 3rd-grade ELA proficiency was 49.3% (above district and state averages), 4th-grade proficiency dropped to 39.2%, and 4th-grade math proficiency was just 30.7% compared to the district average of 45.3%. Chronic absenteeism (23.7%) is also higher than all other schools in its district, though better than the state average. Within the district, Yake Elementary remains the clear academic standout, while Gudith sits in a middle tier with Bates Elementary and Erving Elementary. Compared to Myers Elementary in the Taylor School District—where poverty rates exceed 95% and proficiency is in single digits—Gudith provides a fundamentally more effective learning environment, demonstrating that despite its own struggles, it is delivering solid results for its community.
