Summary:
The 49262 zip code in Michigan is home to two public schools, North Adams-Jerome Middle/High School and North Adams-Jerome Elementary School, both part of the North Adams-Jerome Public Schools district. Unfortunately, these schools are performing significantly below state averages, with consistently low proficiency rates on standardized assessments, high dropout rates, and concerning levels of chronic absenteeism.
Academically, both schools struggle, with proficiency rates ranging from just 9.68% to 37.5% in English Language Arts and 10% to 25% in other subjects. The middle/high school's four-year graduation rate of 84.8% is also lower than the state average, and the school has a high dropout rate of 9%. Attendance is a major issue, with chronic absenteeism rates of 33.6% at the middle/high school and 29.4% at the elementary school, well above the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as both schools serve a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 73% and 78.41%, respectively. Despite higher-than-average per-student spending, the schools have not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 49262 zip code face significant challenges in providing a quality education to their students, and may require targeted interventions and support to address these systemic issues.
