Summary:
Roscommon Area Public Schools is a school district in Michigan that contains only one high school, Roscommon High School. The school serves grades 9-12 and has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 119th out of 735 Michigan high schools in 2022-2023 to 358th out of 739 in 2024-2025.
Roscommon High School faces several academic challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite these challenges, Roscommon High School does have some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in 8th-grade science and social studies. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.7, and its per-student spending of $15,905 is higher than the state average. However, the school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 48.88% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Addressing the unique needs of this student population and improving academic performance, graduation rates, and attendance could be crucial for the success of Roscommon High School and the Roscommon Area Public Schools district.
