Summary:
The 48726 zip code in Michigan is home to two schools, Cass City Elementary and Cass City Junior and Senior High School, both part of the Cass City Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 107 out of 610 in Michigan and has a 4-star rating, the elementary school appears to be the standout performer in the area.
Cass City Elementary consistently outperforms state averages on standardized tests, with 60-67% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 40-77% proficient or better in Math across grades 3-6. This is significantly higher than the state averages. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8% and spends $12,583 per student, which is above the state average. In contrast, the high school's performance on state assessments is more mixed, with some areas exceeding state averages and others falling below.
Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates around 50%. However, the elementary school's strong academic performance, low student-teacher ratio, and high spending per student suggest the school is providing a quality education to its students. The high school's 88.2% graduation rate is respectable, but the 4.4% dropout rate indicates room for improvement in supporting student retention and success.
