Summary:
The Van Buren Public Schools district in Michigan is home to 4 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade.

Savage Road Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to the 1-star ratings of the other schools. Additionally, Savage Road has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 21.8%, while the other schools range from 31.2% to 43.7%.

These schools also have higher chronic absenteeism rates and free/reduced lunch rates, further highlighting the potential equity concerns within the district.
