Summary:
The 48429 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Durand Area Schools district. While the high school, Durand Area High School, stands out with its strong graduation rate and academic performance, the elementary and middle schools in the district show lower proficiency rates, particularly in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Across the schools, there are concerns about high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.7% at Robert Kerr School to 31.2% at Bertha Neal School, significantly higher than the state average. This issue may be contributing to the academic performance challenges observed in the district. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic backgrounds.
The socioeconomic diversity of the student population is also evident, with free and reduced-price lunch rates varying from 40.71% at Durand Area High School to 62.64% at Robert Kerr School. This diversity may present both challenges and opportunities for the district in terms of meeting the diverse needs of the students and leveraging community resources to support their success.
