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.
