Summary

Ruth Hoppin School is an elementary school in Three Rivers, MI, serving 293 students in grades K-5 as part of the Three Rivers Community Schools district.

Ruth Hoppin has earned a 3-star rating, placing it in the 52nd percentile statewide. The school's biggest strength is its work with Special Education students, who rank in the 76th percentile—a 4-star performance that stands out among nearby schools. Another clear pattern is that 5th graders shine here: their math (42.6%) and science (46.3%) proficiency rates top all other elementary schools in the district and exceed state averages. However, 3rd and 4th graders struggle more, with 4th-grade math proficiency (29.2%) well below both the district (47.8%) and state (39.4%) averages. This suggests the school's upper-grade program is strong, but earlier grades may benefit from additional support. One concern for parents to note is chronic absenteeism, which jumped from 22.3% to 29.9% in just one year—now higher than the state average (27.9%).

Compared to its neighbors, Ruth Hoppin sits in the middle of the pack. Its closest rival, Andrews Elementary School, is just under a mile away and ranks in the 74th percentile, outperforming Ruth Hoppin in nearly every subject—especially 3rd-grade math (72.5% vs. 38.5%). Andrews also has a dramatically lower chronic absenteeism rate (13.7%). Meanwhile, Norton Elementary School has been improving steadily, while Park Elementary School has declined. Ruth Hoppin spends slightly more per student ($15,256) than Andrews ($14,029) and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio (17.2 vs. 13.7 at Park), suggesting that how resources are used—not how much is spent—may be the key to closing the gap with its higher-performing neighbor.
