Summary:
Kaiser Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Roseville, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 217. The school faces significant challenges, including a diverse student population with high levels of economic disadvantage, low academic performance, and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Kaiser Elementary's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally lower than the Roseville Community Schools district and the state of Michigan averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 44.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 25.8% for the district and 39.6% for the state. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 45.3% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools and the state average. Additionally, Kaiser Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 85.25% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While Kaiser Elementary's performance is generally lower than the Roseville Community Schools district and the state, the nearby schools within the district, such as Dort Elementary, Fountain Elementary, and Ruth H. Green Elementary, also struggle academically, with similar or lower test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $17,716 at Kaiser Elementary, the school has struggled to improve its performance over the years, and its declining statewide ranking suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the underlying issues.
