Elsa Meyer Elementary School

Elsa Meyer Elementary School serves 508 students in kindergarten through third grade in Corunna, Michigan. It earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — built on a 9.0 academic score and a standout 9.8 growth score. That growth figure reflects students making consistent, measurable gains year over year, which matters especially in the early grades when foundational skills set a long-term trajectory.

The school ranks 65th out of 3,190 public schools in Michigan, outperforming 98% of the state. Among elementary schools specifically, it places 51st out of 1,602 statewide and holds the top position among all three public schools in Corunna. These numbers put Elsa Meyer clearly in Michigan's top-performing tier — not as an outlier, but as a school with reliable, repeatable results across academic and growth measures.

Student-teacher ratio comes in at 15.9 to 1, a workable class size for the early grades where direct instruction makes the biggest difference. As a regular public school with general enrollment, the scores here reflect outcomes for a broad cross-section of students, not a screened or selective population — which makes the performance gap over 98% of Michigan schools more meaningful, not less.
