Summary:

The 49779 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Rogers City Elementary School, which serves grades K-5. The school is part of the Rogers City Area Schools district, which is ranked 322 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rogers City Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools over the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance metrics are concerning, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher-than-average spending per student, the school's challenges suggest that additional funding is not translating into improved outcomes for students.

The data indicates that families in the 49779 zip code have limited educational options, as Rogers City Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving the area. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach to support student success, considering both academic and non-academic factors impacting the community.
