Summary

Ruth Hoppin School is an elementary public magnet school located in Three Rivers, Michigan, serving 294 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Three Rivers Community Schools district, which is ranked 274 out of 613 districts in the state.

While Ruth Hoppin School spends more per student ($16,070 in 2023-2024) compared to the district and state averages, this does not seem to translate into higher academic performance. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates (29.5% in 2023-2024) compared to the district (25.5%) and state (22.3%). Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 29.5% at Ruth Hoppin, compared to 43% for the district and 38.9% for the state.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the same district, such as Norton Elementary School, outperform Ruth Hoppin School in academic proficiency. Even Centreville Elementary School, located in a different district, achieves higher proficiency rates despite having a similar percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. These comparisons suggest that Ruth Hoppin School has room for improvement and may benefit from identifying and addressing the root causes of its academic challenges.
