Best Public Schools in Zip Code 48419

The 48419 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school), and no middle schools, all part of the Carsonville-Port Sanilac School District. While the district is ranked 177 out of 610 in Michigan and has a 4-star rating, the schools in this area show stark differences in performance.

CarsonvillePort Sanilac High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 87th out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 96.1% four-year graduation rate and a very low 0.0% dropout rate, with student performance on standardized tests generally above state and district averages. In contrast, the virtual CarsonvillePort Sanilac Learning Center struggles, with a low 54.5% four-year graduation rate and a high 18.1% dropout rate, suggesting the virtual learning environment may not be as effective for some students.

The CarsonvillePort Sanilac Elementary School, while ranked lower than the high school, has some bright spots, with 3rd-grade math proficiency and 5th-grade science proficiency rates exceeding state and district averages. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.2% at the elementary school to 81.9% at the virtual high school, and potential equity issues, with high rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools.
