Summary:
The 49232 zip code is home to a single public school, CamdenFrontier K12 School, which serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, lags behind state averages, and it faces challenges with a high dropout rate and a predominantly white student population from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
CamdenFrontier K12 School has a four-year graduation rate of 92.5%, which is above the state average, but it also has a dropout rate of 5.0%, which is a concern. The school's test scores on the M-Step and SAT/PSAT assessments are generally below the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, with only 18.9% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 39.6%. This academic underperformance may be related to the high percentage of students, 66.81%, who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.7, the data suggests that these resources are not translating into improved student outcomes. The school's predominantly white student population, at 94.47%, also raises questions about equity and access to educational opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds. To address these challenges, Camden-Frontier School may need to implement targeted strategies to support student engagement, academic achievement, and equity within the district.
