Summary:

Zip code 48236, covering the Grosse Pointe communities and a portion of Detroit, is served by 10 schools spanning elementary through high school, with the vast majority belonging to the highly-rated Grosse Pointe Public Schools district and one school in the Detroit Public Schools Community District.

Families in this area have access to some of Michigan's top-performing schools, but outcomes vary dramatically depending on the school. Grosse Pointe South High School is the standout, ranking in the 99th percentile with a 96.8% graduation rate and SAT math proficiency more than double the state average. Its counterpart, Grosse Pointe North High School, while still solid at the 85th percentile, lags significantly in math and science. At the elementary level, Kerby Elementary School and Richard Elementary School lead the pack with 96th-97th percentile rankings and the lowest chronic absenteeism rates in the area. Brownell Middle School is the top middle school, with exceptional 8th grade proficiency rates. In stark contrast, Marquette ElementaryMiddle School ranks in the bottom 9th percentile with an 80.7% chronic absenteeism rate, while Stevens T Mason Elementary School is the weakest Grosse Pointe school, ranking in the 43rd percentile.

One of the most striking findings is that higher spending does not guarantee better results. Stevens T Mason Elementary School receives the highest per-student funding in the district ($22,767) yet produces the weakest outcomes, while Kerby Elementary School spends the least ($16,069) and achieves top-tier results. Socioeconomic factors appear strongly linked to performance, with schools having lower free/reduced lunch rates generally ranking higher. Additionally, the middle school transition appears challenging, as Parcells Middle School (77th percentile) underperforms the district's top elementary schools. Parents should also note that Kerby Elementary School and Ferry Elementary School have shown slight declining trends in recent years, while Grosse Pointe South High School has maintained consistent excellence for three consecutive years.
