Rosy Mound School

Summary:

Rosy Mound School is an exceptional elementary school in Grand Haven, Michigan, serving 293 students in grades PK-4. This school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with students demonstrating significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to district and state averages.

Rosy Mound School's academic performance is truly impressive, with 79.7% of 3rd graders and 86.9% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, far exceeding the district (65.6% and 65.3%) and state (40.9% and 44.3%) averages. The school's high spending per student of $16,426 may contribute to its resources and success. However, the school's racial makeup is notably different from the surrounding area, with a much higher percentage of white students (90.44%) compared to the district. This raises questions about equity and access to high-performing schools for students of color in the Grand Haven Area Public Schools district.

While Rosy Mound School outperforms nearby schools, other top-ranked schools in the district, such as Holmes Elementary and Jeffers Elementary, suggest the district as a whole is providing quality education. However, the school's recent spike in chronic absenteeism, from 8.7% to 47.2%, is a concerning trend that the school and district should investigate and address. Overall, Rosy Mound School is an exceptional institution, but the racial disparities and attendance issues warrant further attention.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
