Summary

Park Elementary School in Three Rivers, MI, serves 262 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade within the Three Rivers Community Schools district, a rural district in southwestern Michigan where 53% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Park Elementary is a school with real strengths and some clear challenges. On the positive side, the school maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.7:1, which is better than many nearby schools, and it spends more per student ($15,380) than higher-performing peers like Andrews Elementary ($14,029). There are also pockets of excellence—for instance, the current 4th-grade class posts a 52.5% ELA proficiency rate, which beats both the district average (49.7%) and the state average (41.3%). However, the school's overall state ranking sits in the 44th percentile (2-star rating), which is notably below its district counterparts. Andrews Elementary ranks in the 74th percentile, and Norton Elementary ranks in the 69th percentile. The most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism: 28.3% of Park students are chronically absent, nearly double the rate at Andrews Elementary (13.7%) and far higher than Schoolcraft Elementary (7.9%), which ranks in the 76th percentile.

Academic performance at Park also shows significant swings from year to year and grade to grade. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency has fallen from 64.5% (2022-2023) to just 26.8% (2025-2026), while 5th-grade social studies proficiency sits at only 14.1% versus the state average of 27.5%. These fluctuations suggest that while the school can achieve strong results—as seen with the 2022-2023 5th-grade cohort—it struggles to maintain consistent progress across all students. The good news is that the school has demonstrated capacity for high achievement, and with targeted attention on attendance and scaling successful grade-level practices, there is a clear path forward for improvement.
