Zeeland Public Schools

The Zeeland Public Schools district in Michigan is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several schools ranking among the top in the state.

The standout schools in the district include New Groningen School, an elementary school that ranks among the top 112 in Michigan, and the two high schools, Zeeland West High School and Zeeland East High School, which are both ranked in the top 115 high schools in the state. These schools excel in areas such as test scores, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. The district's middle school, Cityside Middle School, is also a standout, ranking in the top 106 middle schools in Michigan.

While the district as a whole performs well, there are some variations in performance, particularly at the alternative school, Venture Academy, which lags behind the other schools in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and other metrics. Additionally, schools with higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower performance, suggesting that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in student outcomes. The district may want to explore ways to address these disparities and provide additional support and resources to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
