Summary

Fountain Elementary School serves 261 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in Roseville, MI, as part of the Roseville Community Schools district, where 77.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Fountain Elementary currently ranks in the 12th percentile of Michigan elementary schools, earning a 1-star rating. The school's most significant academic challenge is math proficiency—only 5.45% of 5th graders and roughly 8% of 3rd and 4th graders met state standards in 2025-2026, which is 25-34 percentage points below state averages. English Language Arts performance is somewhat stronger, with 5th grade proficiency at 29.1%, nearly double the 3rd grade rate of 16.3%. Science is a relative bright spot: 25.5% of 5th graders were proficient, close to the district average and a notable improvement from 15.2% the prior year. Chronic absenteeism remains a serious concern, with 44.8% of students missing significant school days—nearly double the state average of 27.9%. The school maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.3:1 and spends $18,073 per student, which is higher than many schools achieving better results.

When comparing nearby options, Kaiser Elementary School (0.97 miles away, also in Roseville Community Schools) achieves notably better outcomes—ranking in the 36th percentile with 5th grade ELA proficiency of 40.5% and science at 43.2%—despite serving an even higher percentage of low-income students. Schools in the neighboring Fraser Public Schools district, such as Mark Twain Elementary School (52nd percentile) and Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School (41st percentile), also outperform Fountain while serving fewer low-income families. However, Michigan Collegiate Elementary, a charter school just 0.58 miles away, ranks even lower (9th percentile) despite spending more than double per student. There are encouraging signs: 5th grade ELA and science proficiency have improved meaningfully over the past year, suggesting that recent interventions in upper grades may be gaining traction.

My 5 year old son (Kindergarten) has had such wonderful experiences here! He attended Huron Park for Pre-K and I chose to enroll him at Fountain because of the positive reviews as well as my experiences with the Principal and staff during recruitment programs we attended here. I am so impressed with the family-like atmosphere, attentiveness and compassion I've witnessed from the staff here. I'm VERY happy with my choice. His teacher, Mrs. Clulo, is so positive, energetic and uplifting. I recently volunteered in the classroom and her disposition was not only effective, but infective...if you know what I mean. Every one of the children seemed engaged, happy, well-adjusted, and fully focused on everything Mrs. Clulo was doing. The Principal, Ms. Bucci, is very active with the students, reading to them at lunch-time, playing with them during recess, helping out in the classes throughout the day. This is a wonderful, powerful team and I couldn't imagine placing my son anywhere less. Close Quote
