Summary:
The 48912 zip code area in Lansing, Michigan is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Pattengill School and Post Oak School) and 1 high school (Eastern High School). While the schools serve a diverse student population, they face significant challenges, particularly around academic achievement and chronic absenteeism.
Among the 3 schools, Post Oak School stands out as the highest-performing, with the best statewide ranking, higher test scores than the district and state averages, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, all 3 schools perform well below state averages on standardized assessments, with proficiency rates lagging by 20 percentage points or more, especially in math and science. The Lansing Public School District, which these schools are part of, is also ranked among the lowest in the state, indicating systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
Across the board, the schools in the 48912 zip code area face high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 76.2% to 85.5%, which is likely a significant contributor to the low academic performance. Additionally, the data suggests there may be achievement gaps between different racial/ethnic groups within the schools, though more information is needed to confirm this. Overall, the schools in this area have room for improvement to better serve their diverse student populations and provide a high-quality education.
