Summary

Roscommon High School is a mid-sized public school in rural Roscommon, MI, serving 337 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Roscommon Area Public Schools district.

Roscommon High School has experienced a notable shift in performance over the past decade. Once a consistently top-tier school ranking in the 84th percentile as recently as 2022-2023, it has since declined to a 3-star rating and the 58th percentile. This recent dip is driven largely by a pronounced weakness in mathematics—proficiency rates are below state averages at every grade level, with only 23.8% of 11th graders proficient on the SAT math section compared to the state's 26.5%. However, the school shows a clear strength in science, with 49.2% of 11th graders proficient on the M-Step, significantly outpacing the state average of 35.2%. The school also excels at keeping students on track, boasting a 91.8% graduation rate and a 2.0% dropout rate—both far better than state averages. This creates a paradox: students are graduating at high rates, yet standardized test scores suggest many may not be fully college-ready, particularly in math.

Comparing Roscommon to nearby Grayling High School (just 15.5 miles away) reveals stark differences. While Roscommon has declined, Grayling has surged to the 86th percentile. The gap is most dramatic in math: Grayling's 11th-grade SAT math proficiency (47.2%) is nearly double Roscommon's (23.8%), and its 9th and 10th-grade PSAT math scores are more than double. Interestingly, Roscommon outperforms Grayling in 11th-grade science (49.2% vs. 41.5%). Chronic absenteeism is a critical challenge at Roscommon, affecting 31.8% of students—higher than the state average and likely a major contributor to the academic decline. Despite spending more per student ($17,179) than Grayling ($15,305), Roscommon's outcomes are not superior, raising questions about resource allocation. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment with strong science instruction and high graduation rates, but math achievement and attendance are areas needing serious attention.
