Summary

Mark C Roose Elementary School in Warren, MI, serves 369 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Center Line Public Schools district.

Mark C Roose is a school on the rise. Over the past few years, its statewide ranking has climbed from the 19th percentile to the 43rd percentile, showing steady, consistent improvement that many nearby schools haven't matched. This momentum is also reflected in student attendance—chronic absenteeism has been cut nearly in half, dropping from 60.2% to 36.6% over three years. Academically, the school stands out in a few key areas. Its 5th graders significantly outperform local peers in ELA and math. For example, 41% of 5th graders are proficient in ELA, which is more than double the rate at nearby Hoover Elementary School (17.8%) and well ahead of Mound Park Elementary School (29%). In 5th-grade math, Roose's 28.2% proficiency rate is more than four times higher than Hoover's 6.67%. The school also excels in 5th-grade social studies, where 34.6% of students are proficient—a rate that actually exceeds the state average of 27.5%.

One of the most notable strengths at Mark C Roose is its exceptional performance with its African American students, who rank in the 82nd percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement that far outpaces the school's overall ranking. When compared to Great Oaks Academy, a nearby charter school with a slightly higher overall ranking, Roose holds its own and even surpasses it in 5th-grade math (28.2% vs. 27.5%). The school also outperforms its same-district peer, Crothers Elementary School, in nearly every subject and grade level. While the school spends a significant $18,250 per pupil—more than Great Oaks—it maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.6, which may explain the higher investment. Looking ahead, the school's main challenge will be replicating its success for all student groups, particularly its English Language Learners, while continuing its positive upward trajectory.

Open Quote VERY BAD CARELESS TEACHERS AND MEAN TEACHERS! Close Quote


by a parent
Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Open Quote This School has around 29 Students Per Teacher, and not the 16 that was stated for the Student/Teacher Ratio from 2009-2010. There were around the same amount last year. There was an Elementary School that Closed last Year and those Children were moved to Roose, well at least a big majority of them did. Today, the First Day of School was so unorganized; Parents looking to see where to send their Children at; there wasn't any Teachers out in the back of the Building were the kids would be going in. The Teachers came out way past the start of School and the Bell didn't ring at all. I don't know how the kids are going to get a Good Education, with having that many kids to a Teacher.
