Best Public Schools in Zip Code 48203


Summary:

The 48203 zip code area in Michigan is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. These schools are a mix of public, public charter, and magnet institutions, and they face significant challenges in providing quality education to their predominantly African American student populations, who come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in the area, Greenfield Union ElementaryMiddle School stands out with relatively higher test scores, particularly in 8th grade science and social studies, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools. George Washington Carver Middle School also impresses with the highest 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts proficiency rate and a lower student-teacher ratio. However, the majority of the schools in the area struggle with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the students.

The wide range in spending per student, from $4,972 at Covenant School Spectrum to $23,696 at Greenfield Union ElementaryMiddle School, suggests potential inequities in resource allocation, which may contribute to the disparities in academic performance. Additionally, the high rates of racial segregation and the poor overall academic outcomes in the area highlight the need for a comprehensive approach to address the systemic barriers and provide targeted support to the students and their communities.
