Summary

Siersma Elementary School in Warren, MI, serves approximately 494 students from Pre-K through 6th grade as part of the Warren Consolidated Schools district, where 77% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Siersma has shown it can achieve strong results, particularly in upper elementary grades. The school's 5th graders have consistently outperformed district averages in English Language Arts for three straight years, and in the most recent testing year, 5th grade science proficiency hit 35.4%—well above the district's 28.9%. This pattern suggests that students who remain at Siersma benefit from cumulative support that helps them catch up by the time they reach 5th grade. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.8:1 and spends $19,506 per student, among the highest in the area. When compared to nearby schools, Siersma outperforms Hoover Elementary, Madison Elementary, and Crothers Elementary in overall state ranking, while serving a student population with poverty levels similar to those lower-performing schools. Notably, Edmonson Elementary, which ranks higher, serves a significantly more affluent population, suggesting Siersma achieves more with less favorable demographics.

However, the school is currently navigating a challenging period. Overall performance has declined from the 54th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 35th percentile in the most recent data, with drops visible across most subjects and grade levels. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency fell from 52.7% to 33% in just two years. Chronic absenteeism stands at 33.2%, which exceeds the state average but is actually better than the district average of 34.4%. While the school has demonstrated capacity for success—particularly with African American students, where it ranks in the 78th percentile statewide—the recent broad-based decline raises important questions for school leadership about what has changed and how to reverse the trend. The school's relatively high spending and favorable student-teacher ratio provide resources that, if properly directed, could help return Siersma to its previous trajectory of improvement.
