Summary

Erving Elementary School in Woodhaven, MI, is a mid-sized PK-4 school within the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District, serving 379 students in a community where just over half of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Erving is a school on the rise. Its state ranking has climbed from the 42nd to the 62nd percentile over the past few years, and it now outperforms its nearby counterpart, Bates Elementary, despite both schools having similar enrollment and poverty rates. The school shows exceptional strength in supporting specific groups of learners. Its Special Education students rank in the 93rd percentile statewide—a remarkable jump from the previous year—and its Hispanic students perform in the 82nd percentile, both well above the school's overall average. Erving has also made huge strides in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 34% to 20.5%, which is now better than both the district and state averages. One area of concern is a persistent gender gap: boys consistently outperform girls by about 10 percentile points. Additionally, while 4th-grade reading scores are solid, 4th-grade math scores have lagged behind district averages for several years, suggesting a need for renewed focus in that subject.

Compared to other local schools, Erving sits in the middle on both poverty rates and academic performance. The highest-achieving school in the district, Yake Elementary, has the lowest poverty rate, while Gudith Elementary—which spends over $42,000 per student, more than double Erving's $17,930—has the lowest ranking. Erving's spending is in line with its peers, and its results suggest it is using resources effectively. For parents, this is a school that is improving, does particularly well with students who need extra support, and is worth watching as it continues to close gaps in math and between boys and girls.
