Best Public Schools in Zip Code 49265


Summary:

The 49265 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Onsted Elementary, Onsted Community High School, and Onsted Middle School. While the schools share some similarities, such as a predominantly white student population and high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, their academic performance and other key metrics vary significantly.

Onsted Middle School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, ranking 422 out of 897 Michigan middle schools and exceeding the state average in 8th-grade PSAT English Language Arts. In contrast, Onsted Community High School struggles academically, with low proficiency rates on state assessments, especially in Math and Science. The high school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a relatively low four-year graduation rate.

While Onsted Elementary performs better than the high school on some measures, such as 5th-grade M-Step Science and Social Studies, it still lags behind the state averages in many areas. The district's resource allocation, with higher per-student spending at the elementary and middle school levels, may be a contributing factor to the performance disparities. Overall, the Onsted Community Schools district faces a mix of strengths and challenges, and addressing the academic performance gaps, attendance issues, and socioeconomic factors could be key priorities for improving student outcomes.
