?Community literacy programs—like the “One Book, One City” initiative—support engagement citywide.East Grand Rapids School District offers a stark contrast: its elementary schools average 65% math and 77% reading proficiency, ranking in Michigan’s top 5% and serving as a replicable success model.Through collaboration, data-driven interventions, and community investment, Grand Rapids is laying groundwork for more equitable and high-impact elementary education.
