Summary

Ypsilanti International Elementary School is a public elementary school in Ypsilanti, MI, serving 416 students in grades PK-5 within the Ypsilanti Community Schools district.

This school stands out as a clear academic leader within its district. While the Ypsilanti Community Schools district as a whole ranks in the bottom 17% of Michigan schools, Ypsilanti International performs at or near state averages. For example, in 3rd-grade ELA, 47.7% of students were proficient, compared to just 17.3% for the district and 38.2% statewide. The contrast with nearby schools is even more striking—at Erickson Elementary and Estabrook Elementary, 3rd-grade ELA proficiency was just 8.93% and 4.11%, respectively. The school also outperforms nearby charter schools like South Pointe Scholars Charter Academy and Fortis Academy in most subjects. Its overall state ranking has climbed from the 22nd percentile in 2018-2019 to a peak of the 59th percentile in 2023-2024, before settling at the 46th percentile for 2025-2026.

The school has shown a remarkable recovery from the pandemic, with its state ranking rebounding from a low of the 9th percentile in 2020-2021 to its current level. Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, dropping from 61.9% in 2020-2021 to 22.1% in 2024-2025—now below the state average of 27.9%. The school serves a more economically diverse student population than its neighbors, with 34.38% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, compared to over 70% at nearby schools like Holmes STEAM Elementary. While the school performs well for many student groups, its most significant challenge is supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, whose performance dropped to the 8th percentile in 2024-2025. This suggests an achievement gap within the school that parents may want to explore further.
