Summary:
The 49036 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools. While the traditional public schools, such as Coldwater High School, generally perform around the state average, the alternative schools, like Pansophia Academy and Waldron Learning Center, exhibit much lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.
The data reveals that the schools in this area serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 51.48% at Coldwater High School to an alarming 88.22% at Pansophia Academy. This suggests that the 49036 zip code area faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes. Additionally, the high spending per student at Waldron Learning Center ($59,187) compared to the other schools raises questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation and the need to ensure equitable and efficient use of funds to support student success.
Overall, the data highlights the performance disparity between the traditional public schools and the alternative schools in the 49036 zip code area. While Coldwater High School exhibits relatively strong performance in some test subjects and has a high graduation rate, the alternative schools, such as Pansophia Academy and Waldron Learning Center, struggle with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism. These insights can inform targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of each school and its student population within the Coldwater Community Schools, Pansophia Academy, and Branch Independent School District (Isd).
