About West Maple Elementary School
West Maple Elementary School serves 532 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The school earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — anchored by a 9.1 academic score and an 8.7 growth score. That growth figure matters: it shows students are making measurable gains year over year, not simply performing from a position of existing advantage.
The numbers put that rating in sharp context. West Maple ranks 64th out of 3,190 public schools in Michigan, landing in the top 2 percent statewide. Among Michigan's 1,602 elementary schools specifically, it places 50th — a result that holds even when the comparison narrows to schools serving the same grade span.
Within Bloomfield Hills, it ranks 3rd of 8 schools. A 13.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio gives teachers the capacity to work with individual students rather than manage a crowd — well below what most Michigan elementary schools operate at. For parents comparing elementary options in Bloomfield Hills or across the broader metro, West Maple's combination of high academic scores and consistent growth trajectory makes it a school where both current performance and forward momentum align.
