Summary

Andrews Elementary School in Three Rivers, MI, serves 296 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Three Rivers Community Schools district, and has recently earned a 4-star rating with a statewide rank in the 74th percentile—a significant jump from its 3-star ratings in the previous two years.

This school is a clear standout within its district and among nearby schools. In the most recent school year, Andrews outperformed all other elementary schools in the Three Rivers district, ranking 390th out of 1,492 schools statewide, compared to Park Elementary (838th) and Ruth Hoppin School (716th). The school's math program is particularly impressive: 3rd and 4th graders posted proficiency rates of 72.5% and 72.9%, respectively—roughly 30 points higher than district averages and well above state averages. Early literacy is also a strength, with 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency at 54.9%, nearly 20 points above the district average. Perhaps most notably, Andrews is exceptionally effective at supporting students from low-income backgrounds; this subgroup ranked in the 90th percentile statewide, a dramatic improvement from the previous year. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped to 13.7%, the lowest in the district and far better than the state average of 27.9%.

While the school excels in the early grades, there is a noticeable dip by 5th grade, where math proficiency falls to 38.5% and ELA to 48.1%—a significant drop-off that may reflect the challenge of transitioning to more complex material. Still, Andrews achieves these results while spending slightly less per student ($14,029) than its district peers and maintaining larger class sizes, suggesting highly effective teaching practices rather than simply smaller classes. For parents considering elementary options in the area, Andrews stands out as a school that is not only improving rapidly but also delivering strong results for all students, regardless of economic background.
