Summary

Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Three Rivers, Michigan, serving 273 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Three Rivers Community Schools district, which is ranked 274 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Park Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, as well as lower academic performance in M-Step/English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies assessments across grades 3-5. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 34.7%, compared to 43% for the district and 38.9% for the state. Additionally, Park Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.44% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district's 56.16% and the state's average.

When comparing Park Elementary School to other nearby schools in the same district and surrounding districts, it becomes evident that the school is generally underperforming. For example, Norton Elementary School and Andrews Elementary School, both in the Three Rivers Community Schools district, outperform Park Elementary in test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's leadership and the Three Rivers Community Schools district should closely examine these areas and implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes and address the identified disparities.
