Summary

Roscommon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Roscommon, Michigan, with 271 students. The school is part of the Roscommon Area Public Schools district, which is ranked 246 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roscommon Elementary School, along with the nearby Collins Elementary School and Grayling Elementary School, has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools, with 2-3 star ratings from SchoolDigger. Student performance on standardized tests is generally below state averages in both English Language Arts and Math, and the schools have experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.4% to 31.0%, significantly higher than the state average. These schools also serve a population with significant economic challenges, with 57.89% to 85.17% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Roscommon Elementary School and the nearby schools, the continued underperformance indicates a need for more targeted and effective interventions to address the root causes of these issues and support the academic and social-emotional needs of their students. The similar challenges faced by these schools present an opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to improve student outcomes across the region.
