Summary:
The 48658 zip code is home to two public schools, StandishSterling Central Jr-Sr High School and StandishSterling Central Elementary School, both part of the Standish-Sterling Community Schools district. These schools serve students from preschool through 12th grade, providing a comprehensive educational experience in the local community.
Academically, both schools perform well above the state average in various assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The high school's 7th grade M-Step ELA and Math scores, as well as its 11th grade M-Step Science and Social Studies scores, all exceed the state averages. Similarly, the elementary school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade M-Step ELA and Math scores are notably higher than the state benchmarks. This suggests the schools are delivering a strong academic foundation for their students.
While the student populations at both schools are predominantly White, the data indicates a need to explore ways to increase diversity and inclusion within the school communities. Additionally, the high school's higher chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% compared to the elementary school's 16.8% could be an area of focus to improve student engagement and attendance. The high school's 85.0% four-year graduation rate is commendable, but the 13.0% dropout rate suggests opportunities to further support students and keep them engaged in their education.
