Michigan designated Willow Ridge Elementary & Hayes Intermediate as Reward Schools

The state of Michigan designated Willow Ridge Elementary and Hayes Intermediate as Reward Schools.  

In January 2023, the state released its school grades for the 2021-2022 school year and recognized some schools as Reward Schools – schools identified annually as being high-achieving public schools.  A school is designated as a Reward School if it is not identified as a low-performing school and earned a letter grade of “A” in any of the following indicators: Student Proficiency, Student Growth, or Performance Among Peers.  

Willow Ridge is a Reward School because of Student Proficiency.

Hayes is a Reward School because of Student Growth.  

Congratulations to the staff and students at both Willow Ridge & Hayes!
