Summary:
The city of Rogers City, Michigan 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 has shown steady improvement in its academic performance and statewide ranking, the elementary school faces more significant challenges, with consistently low rankings and academic proficiency rates.
Rogers City High School has made impressive strides, moving from the bottom third of Michigan high schools to the top quarter in just a few years. Its SchoolDigger star rating has also improved, and the school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.9%. In contrast, Rogers City Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Michigan elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly lower-than-average M-Step proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the district as a whole grapples with concerning chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school level. Addressing these factors, along with the academic performance gaps, could be key focus areas for the Rogers City Area Schools district to drive better outcomes for students in the community.
