Greenwood Elementary School

Greenwood Elementary serves 87 students in pre-K through third grade in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Despite its small enrollment, Greenwood earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — and ranks 40th out of 3,190 public schools statewide. That places it ahead of 99% of Michigan schools, an outcome that reflects both strong academic performance and exceptional student growth.

The school's growth score of 9.6 is its highest dimension, indicating that students here advance faster than peers across the state year over year. Academic performance follows at 8.4. A student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1 supports that progress — one of the lower ratios found in Michigan public elementary schools — giving teachers more direct time with each child in an early learning environment where individual attention matters most.

Among the 13 public schools in Kalamazoo, Greenwood ranks first. Statewide, it sits 31st out of 1,602 elementary schools — a striking position for a school with fewer than 90 students. Parents searching for a high-performing public option in Kalamazoo will find Greenwood's results difficult to match locally.

With an enrollment of 87 students, Greenwood Elementary School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 9.7:1, Greenwood Elementary School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
