Rogers City Area Schools

The Rogers City Area Schools district in Michigan consists of two schools: Rogers City High School and Rogers City Elementary School. While the high school appears to be the standout performer, the data reveals a significant gap in academic achievement between the two schools.

Rogers City High School has a higher statewide ranking, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and stronger test scores across various subjects and grade levels compared to the elementary school. The high school also boasts an 82.8% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 7.6% dropout rate. However, the school struggles in math, with only 24.1% of 11th graders proficient or better on the SAT Math section.

In contrast, Rogers City Elementary School has lower proficiency rates, with only 11.54% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math. Both schools face challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting economic disadvantages within the district. The data also indicates a potential imbalance in resource allocation, with the high school spending more per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the elementary school.
