Original Research by School Decision on Davisburg Elementary School
Davisburg Elementary School sits in an unincorporated community within Springfield Charter Township, in Oakland County, Michigan. It is a regular public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, part of the Holly Area School District. The community around it has a rural-suburban character, rooted in agricultural history and shaped by residential growth that accelerated after Interstate 75 opened two interchanges nearby. There is no traditional downtown; civic life is distributed across scattered residential developments, a handful of shopping areas, churches, and parks like Springfield Oaks County Park and Indian Springs Metropark. The area is car-dependent, and many residents commute to employment centers outside the immediate community. Publicly reported data identifies management as the largest occupation group among local residents, and the median household income sits well above the national median.
The school itself has an enrollment that is moderate for an elementary building, with a substantial share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is predominantly white, with small representation from Hispanic, multiracial, Black, and other groups. Information on English learners and students with individualized education programs was not available in the data provided, so those population details remain unknown.
On state assessments, Davisburg Elementary shows a mixed but generally solid academic picture. In mathematics, third and fifth graders performed near the middle range, with proficiency rates around the mid-forties, while fourth grade math was weaker. English language arts results follow a similar pattern, with third and fourth grade proficiency in the mid-thirties but a sharp uptick by fifth grade, where a clear majority of students reached proficiency. Fifth grade science and social studies results were also strong, with more than half of tested students meeting proficiency standards. Taken across all tested subjects and grades, the school's overall proficiency index sits above the midpoint among districts in Oakland County, which is a competitive county with many high-performing systems. That positioning is a meaningful strength given the county's breadth of options.
There are no multi-year trend data available, so it is not possible to say whether these results represent improvement, decline, or stability over time. Participation rates for the state assessments were also missing. A parent may want to ask the school about year-over-year trajectory and how the fourth grade dip in both math and reading fits into the broader picture, especially since fifth grade results rebound strongly.
Because Davisburg serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report, and the school does not offer the AP, dual-credit, or career pathway programs that families might look for at the secondary level. Those options would come later in the Holly Area School District pipeline. No specific program offerings, extracurricular activities, or staffing details were included in the data provided.
The housing market around Davisburg reflects a community in transition from rural roots to suburban residential growth. Typical home values in the school's ZIP code sit above the state benchmark and modestly above the national benchmark. The county-level market shows active inventory rising year over year, with homes moving at a moderate pace. Rental data was not available for the immediate area. The affordability picture, based on estimated mortgage costs against national income figures, suggests that buying a home here is within reach for households earning near or above the national median, though local conditions vary. The community has grown steadily over recent decades, and that growth context is worth noting for families thinking about how the area and its schools might evolve.
What Davisburg Elementary offers is a community-rooted elementary school with respectable academic results in a county where many schools perform well. The fifth grade outcomes are a particular bright spot, and the school's standing relative to its Oakland County peers is genuinely solid. The fourth grade results and the missing demographic and program data are gaps a family would want to fill through direct conversation with the school before making a decision.
