Rogers School

Summary:

Rogers School is an elementary school located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, serving 240 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Pontiac City School District, which is ranked 592 out of 610 school districts in Michigan and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rogers School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average academic performance, and a high percentage of students (80.83%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $11,296 to $20,432 in recent years, the school's academic outcomes remain low, particularly for African American and Hispanic students. When compared to nearby schools like Herrington School and Owen Elementary, which have significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates, the challenges faced by Rogers School and the Pontiac City School District become even more apparent.

Addressing the issues at Rogers School will require a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and racial disparities in academic performance. Simply increasing funding may not be enough, and a more targeted intervention focused on improving attendance, teaching and learning, and supporting the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged student population is likely needed to drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes.

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.
