Summary:
The city of Roscommon, Michigan is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including Roscommon High School, Roscommon Elementary School, Roscommon Middle School, and COOR Special Educational Center. The district is served by Roscommon Area Public Schools and C.O.O.R. Independent School District (Isd).
Roscommon High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state and demonstrating strong academic achievement. In contrast, the COOR Special Educational Center, an alternative school serving students with special needs, faces unique challenges with low graduation rates and high chronic absenteeism, despite significantly higher spending per student.
The district as a whole has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a predominance of white students. This may suggest a need to explore ways to promote diversity and inclusion within the school system. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools indicate a significant socioeconomic challenge facing the Roscommon community, which may impact educational outcomes and require targeted interventions. The disparities in test scores between the high school and the elementary/middle schools also suggest a need to examine the curriculum, teaching practices, and support systems across the different grade levels to ensure a more consistent and effective educational experience for all students.
