Summary:
The Rogers City Area Schools district has only one elementary school, Rogers City Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools over the past three years, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Rogers City Elementary School's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.23% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.9%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 76.53% in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,031 in the 2023-2024 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 17.9, the low academic performance indicates that these resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. To improve student outcomes, the school may need to focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of its consistently low performance, implementing targeted interventions and support programs, and evaluating the effectiveness of its resource allocation.
