Summary:
The 49254 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Keicher Elementary and Arnold Elementary) and 1 junior/senior high school (Michigan Center JrSr High School) - all part of the Michigan Center School District. While the elementary schools show relatively strong academic performance, the high school lags behind, with low proficiency rates and a graduation rate below the state average.
Keicher Elementary stands out with its higher academic achievement, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools. In contrast, Arnold Elementary has the highest per-student spending and the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to more individualized attention for its students, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the elementary schools and Michigan Center JrSr High School, suggesting potential challenges at the high school level that may need to be addressed. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools indicate potential inequities in resource allocation that could impact student outcomes. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is particularly high at the high school, could also be an important focus area for the district.
