Summary

Oriole Park Elementary School in Wyoming, MI, is a smaller elementary school serving 277 students in grades PK-4 as part of Wyoming Public Schools, with a majority of families (about 76%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The most encouraging news is the school's strong momentum. In the most recent school year, Oriole Park jumped from the 16th to the 28th percentile in state rankings, a bigger improvement than any other elementary school in its district. This was driven by a remarkable surge in 4th grade reading, where proficiency nearly doubled from 18% to 37.1%—now the highest among all Wyoming Public Schools elementaries and close to the state average. Gains were especially strong for students from low-income backgrounds, whose subgroup ranking improved from the 12th to the 36th percentile. The school also stands out for attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate (23.7%) is far better than the district average (40.4%) and even below the state average, which is notable for a school serving this many families facing economic challenges.

Parents should also know that Oriole Park invests heavily in smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1—better than nearby Parkview Elementary School (15.5:1) and West Elementary School (15.6:1). Per-student spending is also high at $20,527. However, this investment hasn't yet closed the gap with Vanguard Charter Academy, a nearby school that spends far less per student yet achieves much higher test scores. One area to watch is a gender gap: boys at Oriole Park currently outperform girls in state rankings, which is unusual at this grade level and may signal a need for extra support for female students in reading. While the school's overall scores remain below state averages, the recent upward trend—especially in 4th grade—suggests that targeted efforts are starting to pay off.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, November 21, 2017

My son attended this school for one day. It was such a horrific experience that I transferred him to another district. My son has some special needs. I made sure to notify the school and speak to both his teacher and principle prior to his first day to confirm that the school could meet his needs. He has medical problems, which have delayed speech and potty training, and he has food allergies. When I picked up my son, he was soaked in his own urine- through both his pull-up and pants, and he was a hysterical mess. I have never seen him so upset. I made some calls. After dozens of different stories from the principal, various staff members, and superintendent, I finally got my hands on a written report, which didn't match anything I had been told. Apparently, they refused to let my son out of his seat (to go to the bathroom), and at some point, he jumped up and yelled and grabbed at his pants (a small child cannot hold their bladder all day), at which point he was removed from the classroom for the rest of the day! Then an adult forced him to take off his pants and sit on the toilet, and they never changed him! I had been told to send extra pull-ups and pants, and that it wouldn't be a problem, accidents happen...Well, they never bothered to change him, even though the teacher (or another staff member) got into his book bag and removed his school supplies. Fortunately I checked his bag when he got home - they had intentionally put a free lunch in it, which contained several items that would have made my son very sick. Even if my child didn't have allergies, I wouldn't want them giving him sugary junk food all day. The "healthy" free meals and snacks include items like Pop Tarts and Chocolate Milk. The school also demanded a doctor's note to refuse these cavity inducing non-nutritional food products, even though I sent my son with plenty of snacks, since they wanted to feed him three times (during a half day).
