About Winchester Elementary School
Winchester Elementary School serves 481 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Northville, Michigan. It earns a composite score of 8.9 out of 10 — rated Excellent — with both academic achievement and student growth sitting at 9.3. That pairing is meaningful.
Academic scores reflect how students perform against grade-level standards at a point in time. Growth scores measure how much students improve over the course of a year, regardless of starting point. A 9.3 on both signals a school where proficiency is high and gains continue accumulating — not a school where one metric papers over weakness in the other.
Statewide, that shows up in the rankings. Winchester places 117th among 3,190 public schools in Michigan, outperforming 96% of schools across the state. Narrowed to elementary schools, it ranks 98th out of 1,602.
Within Northville, it holds third place among the city's 10 public schools. The school operates at a 19.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio. As a regular public school, Winchester achieves these results with open enrollment and no selective admissions process — a meaningful data point for families comparing it to nearby alternatives.
