Summary:
The 48161 zip code area in Michigan is home to 8 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area serve a diverse student population, there are significant disparities in academic performance, with Monroe County Middle College consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state and outperforming the other schools in the area.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern across the schools, ranging from 27.5% at Custer Elementary School to 58.5% at Monroe County Education Center, an alternative school that also faces unique challenges with lower graduation rates. The wide range in free and reduced-price lunch rates, from 23.46% at Monroe County Middle College to 83.63% at Waterloo Elementary School, suggests significant socioeconomic disparities among the student populations, which may be contributing to the differences in academic performance.
Overall, the data highlights the need for a more nuanced, school-specific approach to address the diverse needs and challenges faced by these educational institutions. While Monroe County Middle College stands out as a top-performing school, the other schools in the 48161 zip code area face a range of issues, from chronic absenteeism to equity concerns, that require targeted interventions and support from the Monroe Public Schools and Monroe Independent School District (Isd).
