Summary:

The 48654 zip code in Michigan has only one elementary school, Rose City School, which serves students from the West Branch-Rose City Area Schools district. While the school has a relatively small student population of 106 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.7, its academic performance has been consistently below the state and district averages on standardized assessments.

Rose City School's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 26.67% in 2024-2025, compared to the district's 35.6% and the state's 38.9%. Similarly, the school's 4th grade math proficiency rate was only 16.67%, significantly lower than the district's 25.5% and the state's 39.4%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.

Despite the higher per-student spending of $20,850 and the low student-teacher ratio, the school's performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning. The inconsistent academic performance across grade levels indicates a need for a closer examination of instructional practices and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at Rose City School.
