Summary:
The 48883 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (1 public and 1 public charter). While the schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, there is a significant disparity in performance, with Winn Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in math and science, while Shepherd Elementary School lags behind.
At the secondary level, Shepherd High School stands out for its strong performance, ranking in the top 25% of Michigan high schools and boasting a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.3% and a low dropout rate of 2.7%. In contrast, the public charter high school, Flextech High School Shepherd, has a lower overall ranking but impresses with its 100% 4-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate.
Across the schools in the 48883 zip code, chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high, ranging from 15% at Winn Elementary to 26.8% at Shepherd High School. This is a potential area of concern that may impact student learning and achievement. The Shepherd Public Schools district, which encompasses most of the schools in the data set, is ranked 202 out of 610 districts in Michigan and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting room for improvement at the district level.
