Best Public Schools in Zip Code 48706

Summary:

The 48706 zip code area is home to 13 schools across two school districts, Bangor Township Schools and Bay City School District, serving students from elementary through high school, as well as alternative education programs. While the academic performance varies widely, a few standout schools emerge, including Bangor West Central School and Mackensen Elementary School, which boast strong test scores and low chronic absenteeism rates.

The data reveals significant disparities in performance, with some schools, particularly the alternative programs like Bangor Township Virtual School and ISDLocal Programs, struggling with low graduation rates and high dropout levels. There also appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch eligibility, and academic outcomes, with the more disadvantaged schools tending to underperform.

Interestingly, the Bangor Township Schools generally outperform the Bay City School District on key metrics, despite serving similar demographic populations. This suggests the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to these differences and the potential for sharing best practices across the districts.
