The school is part of the West Branch-Rose City Area Schools district, which is ranked 351 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Rose City School's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the district and state averages, while others are significantly below. The school's 3rd grade ELA and 3rd grade Math scores are particularly low, falling well below the district and state averages. However, the school's 5th grade ELA and 4th grade Math scores are above the district averages. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite these challenges, Rose City School has some potential strengths, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1 and a high per-student spending of $20,487, which is above the state average. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 77.39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing attendance issues and targeting interventions and resources to improve academic outcomes could be important focus areas for the school and district.
