Joseph G Steenland Elementary School

Public Grades K-5

1237^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,492 Michigan Elementary Schools

Better than 17% of Michigan elementary schools

Summary

Joseph G Steenland Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Roseville, MI, serving 362 students as part of the Roseville Community Schools district.

Steenland is the highest-performing elementary school within its district, though it still faces significant challenges. The school ranks in the bottom 20% of Michigan elementary schools overall, and about 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. However, there are some bright spots worth noting. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 and spends a substantial $17,351 per student—more than nearby Mark Twain Elementary School in Fraser Public Schools, which achieves notably better test results. This suggests the issue isn't a lack of funding, but rather how resources are used. Steenland also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (35.7%) among all Roseville elementary schools, compared to rates above 43% at Fountain Elementary, Dort Elementary, and Ruth H Green Elementary.

When compared to schools serving similar high-poverty populations, Steenland performs relatively well. It significantly outperforms Bellview Elementary in Eastpointe and Michigan Collegiate Elementary, both of which have free/reduced lunch rates above 90% and rank in the bottom 5-9% statewide. There is also a promising trend in early literacy: 3rd-grade ELA proficiency has grown from 17.7% to 28.3% over recent years, suggesting early interventions may be taking hold. That said, the gap with neighboring districts remains stark—in 3rd-grade math, Steenland's proficiency rate of 16.7% is less than a third of Pinewood Elementary's 61.5% in Warren Woods Public Schools. For parents weighing options, schools in the nearby Warren Woods and Fraser Public Schools districts consistently achieve significantly higher proficiency rates, though Steenland remains a relative bright spot within its own district.
