Summary:
The 48850 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Lakeview Community Schools (Montcalm) district. While Lakeview Elementary School stands out with its strong 3rd-grade proficiency rates, the middle and high schools in the area face performance challenges, with test scores generally below state averages.
Lakeview Elementary School boasts impressive 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (70.8%) and Math (63.9%), significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school has a relatively low statewide ranking and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 35%. In contrast, Lakeview High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 261st out of 735 Michigan high schools in 2022-2023 to 482nd out of 743 in 2023-2024, and its 4-year graduation rate of 76.1% is lower than the state average.
The schools in the 48850 zip code serve a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.73% at Lakeview High School to 69.94% at Lakeview Elementary School. This suggests that the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be contributing to the academic performance disparities observed across the district.
