Summary

Cromie Elementary School in Warren, MI, serves 598 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Warren Consolidated Schools district. The school has faced significant academic challenges, with over 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and its overall state ranking places it in the lower quartile of Michigan elementary schools.

One of the most notable patterns at Cromie is a decline in student performance as they move through the grades. While 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency (32.3%) is close to the district average, it drops to 25.3% by 4th grade. The math scores tell a similar story, with 5th-grade proficiency falling to 20.2% in the most recent school year. This trend is not seen to the same degree at nearby schools like Westwood Elementary School (60th percentile) or Wilkerson Elementary School (51st percentile), both located just a mile away. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency at Westwood (38.2%) is nearly double Cromie's rate. Interestingly, Cromie has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (21.2%) than its district (34.4%) and the state average, suggesting that students are attending school regularly but instruction is not translating into academic gains.

There are some bright spots worth noting. Cromie serves its English Language Learner students relatively well, ranking in the 59th percentile for that subgroup. Additionally, the school's per-student spending ($15,699) is actually higher than that of higher-performing neighbors like Westwood ($15,519) and Frontier International Academy Elementary ($12,930), a charter school less than a mile away that ranks in the 73rd percentile despite having a 99% free/reduced lunch rate. This suggests that funding alone does not explain the performance gap. For parents considering this school, the data points to a need for a closer look at instructional strategies, particularly in the upper elementary grades, where the school appears to struggle most in sustaining academic growth.
