Best Public Schools in Zip Code 48655

The 48655 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle/high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The schools in this area exhibit varying levels of academic performance, with St Charles Community MiddleHigh School emerging as the standout, ranking 189 out of 743 Michigan high schools and boasting a 100% four-year graduation rate.

In contrast, the St Charles Virtual School faces significant challenges, with a much lower graduation rate (35.2%) and a higher dropout rate (20.5%). The virtual school also spends the least per student ($4,660) compared to the other schools in the area. Meanwhile, St Charles Elementary School has relatively strong test scores, with several grade levels performing above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate than the middle/high school.

The data highlights the stark differences between the traditional brick-and-mortar schools and the virtual school, suggesting that the virtual school may be serving a more disadvantaged student population and struggling to provide the same level of academic support and outcomes as the traditional schools. Additionally, the significant variation in racial composition and spending per student across the schools raises questions about the relationship between funding, diversity, and educational outcomes in the St. Charles Community Schools district.
