Summary

Romulus Elementary School in Romulus, MI, serves 262 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Romulus Community Schools district, where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Romulus Elementary is a school on the rise. After ranking in the 15th percentile statewide in 2021-2022, the school has climbed to the 42nd percentile for the 2025-2026 school year—a dramatic turnaround that reflects real gains in the classroom. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency jumped from 21.7% to 74.5% over just two years. The school's greatest strength is its effectiveness with students who face economic challenges. In the most recent school year, Romulus ranked in the 62nd percentile for academic growth among low-income students, and it performed exceptionally well with its African American students, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide. This is particularly notable because the school outperforms most of its immediate neighbors: nearby schools like Eugene B Elliott Elementary School and Albert Schweitzer Elementary School hold 1-star ratings and rank in the 11th to 22nd percentile. In 4th-grade ELA, Romulus's proficiency rate of 46.8% is more than double that of those schools.

Still, challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from a peak of 56.9% to 37.1%, remains well above the state average of 27.9%. The school also shows significant grade-level variability: while 4th graders beat state averages in both ELA and math, the current 3rd-grade class scored far below state averages, suggesting a specific cohort that may need extra support. On a positive note, Romulus maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.1 and spends about $19,607 per student. For parents weighing options in this area, Romulus Elementary stands out as a school making steady, measurable progress—especially for students who face the greatest obstacles.
