Rockford Spanish Immersion

Public Grades K-5

75^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,492 Michigan Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of Michigan elementary schools

Summary

Rockford Spanish Immersion is a public elementary school in Rockford, MI, serving 307 students in grades K-5 as part of the highly-ranked Rockford Public Schools district, which is rated 15th out of 625 districts in Michigan.

This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade and currently ranks in the 95th percentile statewide (75th out of 1,492 Michigan elementary schools). What makes Rockford Spanish Immersion particularly interesting is how efficiently it achieves these results. The school operates with a student-teacher ratio of 33.1:1—more than double the ratio at nearby Roguewood Elementary School (14.2:1), which shares the same building—and spends about $10,586 per student, roughly $5,000 less than other Rockford elementaries. Despite these leaner resources, it outperforms several district peers, including Valley View Elementary School (ranked 150th) and Meadow Ridge Elementary School (ranked 216th). Its 5th-grade science proficiency (69.4%) exceeds both the district average (67%) and state average (40%), and its 5th-grade ELA scores (79.6%) also top the district.

Families will appreciate the school's exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.4%—far below the state average of 27.9%—which reflects strong student engagement. The school also maintained high performance even during the pandemic, with rankings staying in the 93rd percentile. One area to watch is 3rd-grade math, where proficiency (72.5%) trails the district average (75.1%). While Chandler Woods Charter Academy nearby posts slightly higher test scores, Rockford Spanish Immersion achieves its results with lower per-student spending and serves a student population with a very low free/reduced lunch rate (8.79%). For parents seeking a proven, efficient, and consistently high-performing school with a unique language immersion focus, this is a standout option in the Rockford area.

I feel blessed to have my 2 children in Rockford's Spanish Immersion. I am not surprised the school scored 10th in the state. Hope this score underlines the value of a bilingual education for the naysayers in the district. Kudos to the teachers!!!! Close Quote

The school is great. Rockford should open another one. There are a lot of parents that want to get their kids into the school but there are only a handful of openings every year. There is enough demand to open a school that is only spanish immersion. The only complaint is that there is not bussing home from school. We pay such high taxes, we should at least be able to have our children bussed both ways. Close Quote
