Best Public Schools in Zip Code 49779

Summary:

The 49779 zip code is home to two schools: Rogers City High School and Rogers City Elementary School, both part of the Rogers City Area Schools district. While the high school performs relatively well, ranking 126 out of 739 Michigan high schools, the elementary school struggles, ranking 1110 out of 1488 Michigan elementary schools.

Rogers City High School has a 4-star rating and a graduation rate of 82.8%, performing above the state average in 11th-grade science and social studies. In contrast, Rogers City Elementary School has a 1-star rating and struggles with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, often well below the state average. The elementary school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%.

Both schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the lower academic performance at the elementary school level. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing targeted interventions could be important areas of focus for the district to improve student outcomes across all grade levels.
