Summary

Rosy Mound School is a small, high-achieving elementary school in Grand Haven, MI, serving 243 students in grades K-4 within the Grand Haven Area Public Schools district.

If you're looking for a school with a proven track record of academic excellence, Rosy Mound is a standout. For nearly a decade, it has ranked in the top 1% of Michigan elementary schools, and it currently holds a 5-star rating. In the most recent testing year, 68.7% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA and 71.3% of 4th graders were proficient in math—rates that are dramatically higher than the state averages of 38.2% and 39.4%, respectively. This performance also puts it well ahead of other Grand Haven elementary schools like Robinson School and Griffin Elementary School. One of the most encouraging recent trends is the school's success in reducing chronic absenteeism. After a pandemic-era spike to 77.8% in 2021-2022, the rate has plummeted to just 10.5%—less than half the district average and well below the state average. This suggests a strong, recent shift in school culture and family engagement that is helping kids get to class consistently.

Rosy Mound also stands out for its efficiency. It achieves these outstanding results while spending less per student ($15,194) than many of its peers, including Peach Plains School and Ferry School in the same district. While it is a leader within Grand Haven, it's worth noting that the nearby Spring Lake Public Schools—specifically Holmes Elementary School and Jeffers Elementary School—consistently post even higher test scores, offering a benchmark for potential growth. One area of concern is the school's performance with its Special Education students, which ranks in the 28th percentile and earns a 1-star rating, a stark contrast to its overall 5-star rating. This suggests that while the school excels for most students, its strategies may not be fully meeting the needs of this particular group—a critical area for the school to investigate.
