Summary:
Zip code 48350 in Davisburg, Michigan, is home to two elementary schools serving students from Pre-K through 5th grade, with no middle or high schools in the immediate area, offering families a choice between two above-average educational options within different districts.
Andersonville Elementary School, part of the Clarkston Community School District, is the clear standout in this area. It ranks in the 76th percentile among Michigan elementary schools and has maintained a 4-star rating for three consecutive years. Andersonville outperforms Davisburg Elementary School in nearly every academic category, including a 56% vs. 42.4% gap in 3rd grade ELA and a 46.5% vs. 25.9% gap in 5th grade Math. The school also benefits from a much lower economic disadvantage rate (25.16% free/reduced lunch vs. 54.99% at Davisburg) and significantly lower chronic absenteeism (17.2% vs. 28.4%). Andersonville spends more per student ($19,195 vs. $15,614) and maintains a slightly better student-teacher ratio (13.7 vs. 14.9), reflecting the stronger financial resources of its parent district, which ranks in the 84th percentile statewide.
Davisburg Elementary School, within the Holly Area School District, serves a more economically challenged population but still exceeds state averages in 6 of 8 test categories. Its most notable achievement came in 2024-2025, when its 5th grade cohort posted exceptional scores—59% proficient in ELA and 54.1% in Social Studies—actually beating Andersonville in Social Studies that year. However, that performance dropped sharply in 2025-2026, suggesting either a particularly strong cohort that moved on or instructional inconsistency. Despite the gaps, both schools beat state averages in most subjects, and Social Studies is the closest subject between them (29.6% vs. 30.2%). Families choosing between these schools should weigh the significant resource and socioeconomic differences alongside the academic data, while recognizing that both provide solid foundations above the Michigan average.
