Summary

Mound Park Elementary School in Warren, MI, serves 296 students in grades 4 and 5 within the Fitzgerald Public Schools district, where about 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Mound Park faces significant academic challenges, particularly in math. Fifth-grade math proficiency has declined sharply from 14.8% in 2023-2024 to just 7.1% in 2025-2026, compared to the state average of 32.2%. This places the school well below nearby options like Mark C Roose Elementary (28.2%) and Great Oaks Academy (32.1%). The school also struggles particularly with its male students, whose subgroup ranking fell to the 4th percentile statewide. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, with 44.6% of students missing significant school time—higher than Crothers Elementary (31.8%) and Mark C Roose Elementary (36.6%). Notably, Mound Park spends $16,996 per student—more than higher-performing schools like Great Oaks Academy ($13,407) and Legacy Charter Academy ($14,376)—suggesting that funding alone isn't the issue.

There are some bright spots. Fifth-grade English Language Arts proficiency improved dramatically, from 17.5% in 2023-2024 to 29% in 2025-2026, outperforming nearby Lincoln Elementary (21.9%) and Marion Law Academy (17.9%). However, results vary widely between grade levels and subjects, suggesting inconsistent instruction. The comparison with Great Oaks Academy—a charter school with similar demographics (90.8% free/reduced lunch) that achieves far better results—demonstrates that strong outcomes are possible in this community. For parents considering Mound Park, it's worth asking about absenteeism support, math intervention strategies, and how the school plans to build on its 5th-grade literacy gains.
