Summary:
The 48059 zip code area in Michigan is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools share the same district, Port Huron Area School District, their performance and student demographics vary significantly.
Edison Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 365th out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools. Edison students consistently outperform their peers in the district and state on standardized assessments, with 58.3% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to 29.3% for the district and 39.6% statewide. Edison also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 15.1% and the lowest percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch at 29.9%, suggesting a relatively higher socioeconomic status.
In contrast, Keewahdin Elementary and Fort Gratiot Middle School lag behind Edison and the district and state averages in many subject areas. These schools also have higher chronic absenteeism rates, at 30.0% and 29.0% respectively, and a larger percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, ranging from 55.65% at Keewahdin to 45.8% at Fort Gratiot. The performance gaps between the schools suggest that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in student outcomes, and further investigation into the underlying causes would be warranted.
