Summary:
The 49090 zip code area is home to 6 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the South Haven Public Schools district. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area are worth highlighting.
Lincoln School, an elementary school, stands out with the highest proficiency rates in 3rd grade M-Step English Language Arts and Math compared to other schools in the district. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 13:1. Similarly, North Shore Elementary excels in 4th and 5th grade M-Step English Language Arts, and has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the elementary schools. In contrast, WAY South Haven, an alternative high school, faces concerning metrics, including a 40% four-year graduation rate and a 33.3% dropout rate, despite its small enrollment and low student-teacher ratio.
Overall, the schools in the 49090 zip code area exhibit a wide range of performance, with some standout schools like Lincoln and North Shore, and others like South Haven High School and Baseline Middle School performing below state averages. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, as well as the chronic absenteeism issues, suggest that the district and individual schools may benefit from targeted interventions and support programs to address these challenges and provide equitable access to a high-quality education for all students.
