Mound Park Elementary School is a public school in Warren, Michigan, serving 260 students in grades 4-5. Despite being part of the Fitzgerald Public Schools district, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mound Park's student population is diverse, with a significant African American (41.92%) and Asian (17.31%) representation, but the percentage of White students has declined from 28.62% in 2020-2021 to 18.85% in 2022-2023. Academically, the school's performance is significantly below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 24.7% of 4th-grade students and 17.5% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 43.3% and 44%, respectively.

The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased from 25.2% in 2019-2020 to 42.3% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like Lincoln Elementary School and Westview Elementary School, which are also in the bottom quartile of Michigan elementary schools, Mound Park's academic performance is consistently lower. The school's subgroup performance data also reveals significant disparities, with Mound Park ranking 89th out of 97 Michigan elementary schools for Asian students and 292nd out of 348 for African American students in English Language Arts proficiency. Despite increased per-student spending, from $12,317 in 2019-2020 to $17,214 in 2022-2023, the school has not yet seen meaningful improvements in academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
