Summary:
The 48806 zip code in Michigan is home to three schools: Ashley Middle School, Ashley Elementary School, and Ashley High School, all part of the Ashley Community Schools district. While the middle school and high school have shown some academic strengths, the elementary school has struggled, ranking in the bottom 30% of Michigan elementary schools.
Ashley Middle School stands out, ranking 251 out of 897 Michigan middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the state average in several academic areas, including 5th grade ELA, 7th grade ELA, 5th grade science, and 8th grade science. In contrast, Ashley Elementary School has performed below the state average on most M-Step assessments, suggesting a need for improvement.
Attendance issues are a concern, particularly at Ashley High School, which has a chronic absenteeism rate of 67.5%, significantly higher than the other two schools. This may be contributing to the school's lower graduation rate and higher dropout rate. However, the high school has also outperformed the state average in 11th grade SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, indicating potential for improvement with the right strategies to address attendance and other challenges.
