Summary

Rogers School is an elementary school located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 283 students. It is part of the Pontiac City School District, which is ranked 586 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Rogers School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Michigan elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of that period.

Rogers School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores, and a high percentage of students (78.8%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 17.8% of 3rd graders, 26.5% of 4th graders, and 7.89% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 38.9%, 42.4%, and 44.4%, respectively. Despite increased per-student spending at Rogers School, from $13,415 in 2020-2021 to $21,501 in 2023-2024, the academic outcomes have not improved significantly.

While Rogers School struggles academically, the nearby Owen Elementary and Herrington School in the Pontiac City School District also perform poorly, with similarly low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, schools in the nearby Rochester Community School District, such as Long Meadow Elementary, Meadow Brook Elementary, and Brewster Elementary, consistently outperform the state and the Pontiac City School District on academic measures.
