Summary

Roberts Elementary School in Shelby Township, MI, is a mid-sized school serving 534 students in grades PK through 6 as part of the Utica Community Schools district.

Roberts Elementary serves a student population with a notably high rate of economic disadvantage—about 64% of students qualify for free and reduced lunch. This is significantly higher than nearby Utica schools like Wiley Elementary School (47%), Issac Monfort Elementary School (43%), and Morgan Elementary School (35.7%), and dramatically higher than schools in the neighboring Rochester Community School District, where rates range from about 11% to 34%. The school also faces a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.3%, which is above the district average of 18.5% and much higher than peers like Morgan (9.9%) and Crissman Elementary School (12.1%). These factors help explain why the school's overall state ranking (49th percentile) trails most nearby schools, which rank between the 66th and 97th percentile.

Academically, Roberts shows particular challenges in 5th grade, where only 27.4% of students are proficient in ELA and 16.1% in math—well below district and state averages. However, there is a bright spot: 6th-grade ELA proficiency stands at 51.5%, which beats both the district (49.5%) and state (37.5%) averages. This suggests effective strategies exist within the building that could be applied to other grades. The school spends $14,212 per student, comparable to higher-performing peers, indicating that funding isn't the primary issue. For parents considering this school, it's important to understand that Roberts serves a community with different needs than its higher-performing neighbors, and the school's success in 6th-grade ELA offers hope for improvement in other areas.
