Summary

Rodgers Elementary School is a public elementary school in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, serving 530 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lake Shore Public Schools district, which is ranked 345 out of 613 districts in the state.

Rodgers Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic assessments, with only 22.2% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 31.1% for the district and 38.9% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 46.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 56.42% of Rodgers students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Rodgers Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby Masonic Heights Elementary and Violet Elementary, which are also part of the Lake Shore Public Schools district. These schools have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve a more economically diverse student population. Rodgers Elementary's ranking among Michigan elementary schools has also steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting that the school's challenges have been persistent and potentially worsening.
