Summary

John R Kment Elementary School is a public school in Roseville, MI, serving 255 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Roseville Community Schools district.

If you're looking at schools in the Roseville area, Kment stands out as the top-performing elementary school within its own district. While its overall state ranking places it in the lower third of Michigan elementary schools, it consistently outperforms its direct district peers. For example, in 5th-grade English Language Arts, Kment students posted a 41.9% proficiency rate compared to the district average of 29.4%. The school also ranks significantly higher than nearby Ruth H Green Elementary School, Fountain Elementary School, and Lucile S Patton Elementary School. This is notable because Kment serves a student population where 80% qualify for free or reduced lunch, a demographic that often correlates with lower test scores. The school's ability to outperform its peers despite these challenges suggests effective practices are in place.

One of the most interesting findings is Kment's exceptional performance with its African American students, who rank in the 78th percentile statewide—a stark contrast to its overall ranking. This points to a targeted strength that could offer lessons for the whole school. However, chronic absenteeism remains a serious concern at 44.2%, nearly double the state average, which likely limits academic growth. The school also invests heavily per student at $20,542 annually—more than nearby schools like Masonic Heights Elementary School ($13,052) or Ardmore Elementary School ($14,462), which serve wealthier populations and achieve higher rankings. While higher spending doesn't guarantee competitive outcomes across different demographics, within its own district, Kment spends the most and performs the best. Test scores do fluctuate by grade and year, which may reflect small class sizes, but for parents prioritizing a school that works hard for its students within Roseville, Kment is a solid choice.
