Summary

Memorial Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Riverview, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 417 students. The school is part of the Riverview Community School District, which is ranked 332 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.5% to 42.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores on the M-Step assessments are also generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 33.3%, compared to the district's 34.5% and the state's 38.9%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.23% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Memorial Elementary School to other nearby schools in the Riverview Community School District, such as Huntington Elementary and Forest Elementary, the performance metrics are generally similar, with all three schools having 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger and struggling with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism. However, the school's ranking for Hispanic students is higher than its overall ranking, suggesting that this subgroup may be performing better than the school's overall student population.
