Summary:
The 48910 zip code area of Lansing, Michigan is home to 11 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. This diverse set of educational institutions serves a community with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across the schools.
Among the standout schools in the area, Cavanaugh School stands out with relatively strong test scores, though it also grapples with a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 89%. The Lansing Charter Academy also demonstrates higher test scores than the Lansing Public School District average in several grade levels and subjects, but is still ranked in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools. In contrast, the alternative schools in the area, such as Capital Area K12 Online, face significant challenges, with very low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and extremely high chronic absenteeism.
The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the disparities in educational outcomes across the 48910 zip code area. While some schools are performing better than others, the overall picture suggests that the community faces significant socioeconomic barriers that impact student success. Addressing these broader community-level factors may be crucial for improving educational equity and ensuring that all students in the area have the opportunity to thrive.
