Summary:
Zip code 48065 is home to just one elementary school, Amanda Moore Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 within the highly-rated Romeo Community Schools district.
For parents considering this area, Amanda Moore Elementary stands out most dramatically in its 5th-grade performance. In the most recent school year, 5th graders achieved a 59% math proficiency rate—a remarkable 26.8 points above the state average—and a 54.1% English Language Arts (ELA) rate, which is 10.3 points above the state. This same cohort showed exceptional year-over-year growth, jumping 20.8 points in ELA and 14.6 points in math between 4th and 5th grade. The school also boasts a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.3%, less than half the state average, indicating strong student engagement. However, the picture is uneven. While 5th graders excel, 3rd graders significantly lag, with only 30.7% proficient in ELA compared to the state's 38.2%, and the school trails its own district average in most other grades and subjects. The school's overall state ranking has fluctuated, currently sitting at the 60th percentile, down from a 64th percentile peak a few years ago.
Financially, the school invests heavily, spending $14,105 per student with a moderate student-teacher ratio of 16.4. The free/reduced lunch rate is a relatively low 26.91%, suggesting a more affluent community. Despite these resources and a strong district framework, the school's overall performance is only slightly above average, which suggests that while the upper grades are thriving, there may be opportunities for improvement in early elementary instruction, particularly in 3rd-grade literacy. The volatility in scores between cohorts also indicates that outcomes can vary significantly year to year, making it important to look at multi-year trends rather than a single snapshot.
