Summary:

The 49427 zip code is home to one exceptional elementary school, Jamestown Upper Elementary School, which serves students in grades 3-5. This standout institution consistently outperforms state and district averages, ranking 111th out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools and earning a prestigious 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jamestown Upper Elementary School's academic excellence is evident in its impressive test scores, with 82.9% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 67.6% for the Hudsonville Public School District and 38.9% statewide. The school's low chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% further underscores its commitment to student success. With a student-teacher ratio of 16.5 to 1 and spending $14,422 per student, the school appears to be effectively allocating resources to support its high-performing students.

While the school serves a population with some economic challenges, as indicated by its 27.1% free/reduced lunch rate, its exceptional academic outcomes suggest it is able to effectively support these students and help them achieve at high levels. However, the school's ranking has declined slightly in recent years, from 67th in 2022-2023 to 111th in 2024-2025, which could be an area for the school to investigate and identify opportunities for improvement to maintain its high level of performance.
