Elementary Schools in Romulus Community Schools

The Romulus Community Schools district in Michigan is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools face significant challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, one school, Barth Elementary School, stands out as a standout performer in the district.

Barth Elementary School ranks 572 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools and receives a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, making it the highest-ranked school in the Romulus Community Schools district. Barth's students demonstrate the strongest academic performance, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, 63.9% of 3rd graders at Barth were proficient in Math, significantly higher than the district average of 42.8% and the state average of 43.4%. Barth also has a relatively lower chronic absenteeism rate of 45.3% compared to the other schools in the district, which range from 45.3% to 58.5%.

In contrast, the other elementary schools in the Romulus Community Schools district, including Romulus Elementary School, Wick Elementary School, and Hale Creek Elementary School, struggle with significantly lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve learning outcomes across the district, while also highlighting the potential for improvement demonstrated by Barth Elementary School.
