Summary:
The 48039 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the East China School District. While the schools generally perform well compared to state averages, there are some notable differences in their academic achievements and socioeconomic factors.
The standout school in the area is Marine City High School, which consistently ranks in the top half of Michigan high schools and boasts an impressive 98.4% four-year graduation rate. Students at Marine City High School outperform their peers in the district and state on standardized tests, particularly in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, as well as SAT/Mathematics. In contrast, Belle River Elementary School has a relatively low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, likely due to its high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.5%, despite strong performance on English Language Arts and Math assessments.
Socioeconomic disparities are evident, with Belle River Elementary having the highest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 54.79%, followed by Marine City Middle School at 48.63% and Marine City High School at 33.27%. This suggests that the district may need to address attendance and socioeconomic challenges to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 48039 zip code area.
