Summary

Mark Twain Elementary School in Roseville, MI, is a mid-sized PK-6 school within the Fraser Public Schools district, serving 339 students in a community where nearly half of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable success with students who often face the biggest challenges. In the 2024-2025 school year, Mark Twain ranked in the 90th percentile statewide for the academic growth of its African American students, and it consistently performs well with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 65th-71st percentile in recent years. The school also outperforms its district and state averages in 5th-grade Science and Social Studies. When compared to nearby options, Mark Twain ranks higher than all comparable Fraser elementary schools like Thomas A Edison Elementary School and Eisenhower Elementary School, and it dramatically outperforms schools in the neighboring Roseville Community Schools district, such as Joseph G Steenland Elementary School and Fountain Elementary School.

However, there are areas that need attention. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is high at 31.4%, exceeding the state average and much higher than nearby Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School (19.3%). There is also a persistent gender gap—in 2024-2025, female students ranked in the 63rd percentile while male students ranked in the 27th. Additionally, math proficiency drops sharply from a strong 48% in 3rd grade to just 24.4% in 4th grade, suggesting inconsistency in instruction between grade levels. Despite these challenges, Mark Twain achieves solid results with efficient resources, spending less per student ($14,878) than many schools it outperforms, including Michigan Collegiate Elementary ($37,170). For parents, this is a school that clearly works hard for its most vulnerable students, but one where attendance and upper-grade math support are worth monitoring.
