Best Public Schools in Zip Code 48657


Summary:

The 48657 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Meridian Public Schools district. While the Meridian Elementary School performs well academically, the middle and high schools struggle to match the state average, suggesting potential challenges in academic achievement at the higher grade levels. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The Meridian Elementary School stands out with its strong academic performance, particularly in 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts and Math assessments, where students score above the state average. However, the school also has a high percentage of students (54.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. In contrast, the Meridian Early College High School has a strong 92.3% four-year graduation rate, but its performance on SAT Math assessments is lower than the state average.

Across the schools, there is a notable lack of racial diversity, with the student populations being significantly more white (91.53% to 93.38%) compared to the state average. Additionally, the schools have relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, suggesting that the district is allocating significant resources to support the schools. However, the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into consistently strong student outcomes, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
