Best Public Schools in Zip Code 48722

Summary:

The 48722 zip code area is home to a single public magnet high school, Bridgeport High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 501 students. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a predominantly low-income student population.

Bridgeport-Spaulding Community School District has struggled to provide quality education, as evidenced by Bridgeport High School's ranking in the bottom tier of Michigan high schools. Only 9.6% of 11th-grade students are proficient or better in M-Step/Science, 11.4% in M-Step/Social Studies, and 19.2% in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, well below the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 69.4% and dropout rate of 11.9% further highlight the need for comprehensive interventions to support student success.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $15,448, the academic and attendance challenges at Bridgeport High School suggest that the resources are not being effectively utilized to drive student achievement. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 57.8% and its predominantly low-income student population (87.82% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) indicate that the school faces significant socioeconomic barriers that require targeted support and resources to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the community.
