Summary

Roscommon Middle School in Roscommon, MI, is a small school serving 178 students in grades 5 through 7 within the Roscommon Area Public Schools district. The school has shown remarkable improvement, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 4-star rating in the most recent 2025-2026 assessment, with its state ranking jumping from the 44th to the 71st percentile. This progress is especially notable given that about 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a higher-than-average level of economic need among families.

One of the school's standout strengths is its effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds. Roscommon Middle School has consistently ranked in the top quartile statewide for this subgroup, earning 4-star ratings for three consecutive years. In the most recent year, it ranked in the 74th percentile for these students, actually outperforming its overall school ranking. This suggests the school is particularly successful at closing achievement gaps and supporting all learners, not just those with more advantages. Additionally, 7th-grade students are excelling, with proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (41.8%) and Math (41.8%) significantly outpacing state averages of 38.4% and 33.3%, respectively—a trend that has held for three straight years.

Compared to nearby Grayling Middle School, Roscommon achieves better academic outcomes while spending significantly less per student—$19,880 versus $26,635 in 2024-2025. This points to efficient resource allocation and a cost-effective approach to education. While chronic absenteeism (23.7%) remains a challenge, it is better than both the district (28.2%) and state (27.9%) averages, and has dropped dramatically from a pandemic-era high of 59.7%. The school's strong academic performance despite this hurdle suggests that when students are present, learning is highly effective, making Roscommon Middle School a compelling choice for families seeking a school that delivers results.
