Summary

Gladiola Elementary School is a K-4 public school in Wyoming, MI, serving 290 students within the Wyoming Public Schools district, where the vast majority of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

If you're looking at Gladiola, the most important thing to know is that it's a school making steady progress in a challenging environment. While its overall state ranking has historically been in the bottom third of Michigan elementary schools, it has shown real improvement recently, climbing from the 21st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 30th percentile in 2025-2026. This upward trend is especially visible in 3rd-grade reading and math scores, which saw significant jumps. Gladiola also consistently outperforms its own district average in most subjects and grade levels—for example, 34% of its 4th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to the district's 28.3%. That said, 4th-grade math is a relative weak spot, with only 22.6% proficiency, which is below the district average and a drop from the prior year. On a positive note, the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8, meaning smaller class sizes than many nearby schools, and its chronic absenteeism rate (25.6%) is much better than the district average (40.4%).

When comparing Gladiola to schools just a few miles away, the differences are stark. For instance, Grandville East Elementary School and Vanguard Charter Academy post proficiency rates that are often double or triple Gladiola's—in 4th-grade math, Gladiola's 22.6% compares to 56.3% at Grandville East and 69% at Vanguard. Interestingly, Gladiola actually spends more per student ($18,850) than those higher-performing schools, which suggests the challenge isn't a lack of resources but rather overcoming the impacts of high poverty. The school also serves a very different demographic than its neighbors in the Grandville Public Schools district, which helps explain the achievement gap. For parents, Gladiola appears to be a dedicated school that is trending in the right direction, particularly in early grades, even if it still faces significant hurdles compared to more affluent nearby districts.
