Summary:
The 48768 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary school, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The data reveals stark disparities in school performance, with Vassar Senior High School struggling with low graduation rates and test scores, while the small Clarence Fischer Center alternative high school has alarmingly poor outcomes.
Central School, the lone elementary school, has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 73.43%, indicating a high-need student population. Its test scores are mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 25-42% in ELA and Math, generally below state averages. In contrast, Vassar Senior High School, the largest school with 481 students, has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 79.4% and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6%. Its test scores are significantly below state averages across most subjects and grade levels.
The data suggests that the schools in the 48768 zip code area face significant challenges, with wide disparities in performance and outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require targeted interventions at the individual school level, as well as broader systemic changes within the Vassar Public Schools district. The high free/reduced lunch rates and racial disparities also raise questions about equity and access to quality education in this community.
