Summary

Rosedale Elementary is a public school in Livonia, MI, serving 301 students in grades PK through 4 as part of the highly-regarded Livonia Public Schools School District.

Rosedale is a solid, mid-tier school within a top-performing district, but it faces some distinct challenges. While the school earned a 3-star rating and ranked in the 69th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, its proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math for 3rd and 4th graders run significantly below the district average. For example, 4th-grade ELA proficiency sits at 46.4% compared to the district's 60.8%. This gap is likely tied to the school's demographics: Rosedale serves a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (a 38.87% free and reduced lunch rate) than nearby Livonia schools like Hoover Elementary School (11.45%) or Grant Elementary School (15.3%). The school also has an elevated chronic absenteeism rate of 23.6%, which is higher than several of its local peers and likely impacts learning.

Despite these hurdles, there are notable bright spots. Rosedale shows exceptional results with its African American students, who ranked in the 89th percentile statewide—a clear strength that stands out given the school's overall ranking. The school also demonstrated significant year-over-year improvement, rebounding from the 55th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 69th percentile in 2025-2026, with its low-income students jumping from the 22nd to the 64th percentile. However, a persistent gender gap exists, with female students ranking in the 73rd percentile versus males in the 57th. It's also worth noting that Rosedale's per-student spending ($15,500) is actually higher than top-performing nearby schools like Hoover Elementary School ($14,248), suggesting the issue isn't funding but resource allocation. Finally, when compared to schools in the neighboring Wayne-Westland Community School District, Rosedale dramatically outperforms them—its 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (51.8%) is more than double that of Wildwood Elementary School (23.2%), highlighting the powerful impact of district-level support.
