Summary:
The 48135 zip code area in Michigan is home to 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Garden City Public Schools district, which is ranked 467 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools in the area is Garden City High School, which boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 92.3% and a low dropout rate of 3.5%, significantly outperforming the other high school, Cambridge Alternative High School, which has a 52% graduation rate and 20.3% dropout rate. Garden City High School also performs better on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages.
The data also reveals challenges faced by some of the district's schools, particularly the alternative and charter schools like Tipton Academy PK3, which serves a higher-need student population with a 77.06% free/reduced lunch rate, yet still manages to keep its 3rd-grade proficiency rates on par with or better than the district and state. Overall, the district-wide struggles with high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and equity gaps suggest systemic challenges that the Garden City Public Schools district must address to support all of its students effectively.
