Addressing the root causes of the challenges faced by Dort Elementary, such as poverty, attendance, and instructional quality, will be critical for improving outcomes at the school.

The scores show what the school is......poor. The teachers are quite frankly lazy, not all them of course, but enough that you get the impression it is completely acceptable to miss a lot of work days, not correct and return assignments, or not plan out your lessons and be prepared for the school day. They spend time on their devices, and talk down to students. The math curriculum is horrible and not globally competitive(or with Michigan). It jumps from concept to concept, without spending enough time and practice on one area so that the kids can solidly learn it, and the scores show it. My student didn't receive spelling, or language for a good portion of the year. The Roseville school board needs to wake up, these kids' futures are at stake. Consult with successful districts so our schools can get back on track...........please Close Quote
