Summary

Long Meadow Elementary School in Rochester Hills, MI, is a high-performing public school serving 528 students in grades PK through 5 within the highly-rated Rochester Community School District.

Long Meadow stands out for its exceptional academic growth, particularly in upper elementary grades. In the 2025-2026 school year, English Language Arts proficiency climbs from 61.2% in 3rd grade to an outstanding 80% in 5th grade—a full 10 points above the district average and nearly double the state average. This upward trend is unique among nearby schools; for example, Hamlin Elementary School and Hugger Elementary School both see ELA scores decline from 3rd to 5th grade. Long Meadow also excels in 5th-grade science (67.1% proficient) and social studies (51.4%), significantly outpacing neighbors like Hampton Elementary School (53.6% science, 35.3% social studies). The school has also made remarkable strides in attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 20.3% in 2022-2023 to just 12.0% in 2024-2025—less than half the state average and well below the district's 18.5%.

While Long Meadow's overall profile is top-tier, 5th-grade math presents a clear opportunity for improvement. Only 60% of 5th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, below the district average of 64% and trailing high-performing peers like Musson Elementary School (81.1%) and North Hill Elementary School (79.3%). Notably, Long Meadow achieves its strong results efficiently, spending $15,114 per student—less than Brewster Elementary School ($17,905) or University Hills Elementary School ($17,710)—while delivering comparable or better outcomes. The school also demonstrates strong support for diverse learners, with students from low socio-economic backgrounds ranking in the 88th percentile statewide. After a recent dip in state rankings, Long Meadow has rebounded to 76th in Michigan, placing it well above several nearby schools and solidifying its reputation as an effective, caring learning environment.
