Summary:

Zip code 49093 in Three Rivers, Michigan, is served by four elementary schools—Andrews Elementary School, Ruth Hoppin School, Park Elementary School, and Norton Elementary School—all part of the Three Rivers Community Schools district, serving roughly 1,037 students in grades PK/K through 5th with moderate economic diversity (47-53% free/reduced lunch).

For parents, the standout choice is Andrews Elementary School, which currently ranks in the 74th percentile statewide (4 stars) and leads all four schools in both English Language Arts (53.1% proficiency) and math (61.3% proficiency). It also boasts the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 13.7%—less than half the district average—despite having the largest class sizes and lowest per-student spending. Norton Elementary School is a solid alternative, having climbed to the 69th percentile in 2024-2025, though its most recent data shows only 3rd-grade results with a dip in ELA proficiency to 33.3%. Park Elementary School and Ruth Hoppin School both hover near the 38-44th percentile range with 2-star ratings, and their math and ELA proficiency scores cluster in the mid-to-high 30s—below the district and state averages.

The most striking pattern is the link between attendance and achievement: schools with lower chronic absenteeism (Andrews at 13.7%, Norton at 23.4%) outperform those with higher rates (Park at 28.3%, Ruth Hoppin at 29.9%). Additionally, all four schools struggle with 5th-grade Social Studies, scoring between 14.1% and 24.1% proficiency—well under the state average of 27.5%—while Andrews Elementary School shows a notable 5th-grade math drop to 38.5%, suggesting grade-level transitions may be challenging. Park Elementary School receives the most resources per student ($15,380) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.7:1) yet still underperforms, indicating that funding alone isn't the solution. Overall, Andrews Elementary School offers the strongest combination of academics and attendance, making it the top pick in this area.
