Summary:
The city of Roseville, Michigan is home to 13 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all operated by the Roseville Community Schools district, except for Reach Charter Academy and Michigan Collegiate Elementary, which are public charter schools.
While a few schools stand out, such as Mark Twain Elementary and John R Kment Elementary for their relatively higher test scores, the district as a whole faces significant challenges. Proficiency rates on state assessments are alarmingly low across the district, with most schools performing well below state averages. This is coupled with high rates of poverty, as evidenced by the high eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch, and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching over 50% at some schools.
The data also reveals deep-rooted inequities, with the student populations at many schools highly segregated along racial lines. This suggests that addressing the systemic issues of racial segregation, poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low academic performance will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach focused on targeted interventions and support to provide equitable, high-quality education to all students in the Roseville school district.
