In the calm countryside north of Lowell, Michigan, Murray Lake Elementary School is dedicated to supporting student achievement and character development. As a member of the Schools of Choice program, kindergarten through fifth grade students from around Lowell can apply to attend Murray Lake Elementary. Students explore core subjects, including social studies, science, math and English. Class sizes are relatively small compared to other schools in the area, giving students greater access to teacher support and inspiration. Thanks to the English Learners Program, students who speak another language at home can receive personalized assistance. Both the teachers and the overall academic achievement are highly rated in this public elementary school. Murray Lake Elementary School prides itself on offering desirable clubs and events. Students can participate in already established activities like an ultimate frisbee club or Girl Scouts, but they are also encouraged to recommend new clubs, so students remain engaged. The Family Links program offers additional assistance and resources for parents to play a more significant role in their children’s education and growth. Thanks to community support, Murray Lake Elementary’s Red Arrows seek to make their mark by being responsible, respectful and caring citizens in Lowell, Michigan.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
