In the most recent year of data (2023–2024), several schools hovered in the mid-40% range, while West Bloomfield continued to stand out as one of the strongest performers, often reaching above 70% in earlier years. In contrast, schools like Whitman Elementary and Woodland Elementary scored significantly lower than both the districtwide and state averages in multiple years.
