Best Public Schools in Zip Code 49341

Summary:

The 49341 zip code area is home to 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Rockford Public Schools district. This district is highly ranked, coming in at 41 out of 610 districts in Michigan and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the 49341 area stand out as particularly high-performing, including Valley View Elementary School, which ranks 16th out of 1,486 elementary schools in the state, and Crestwood Elementary School, which ranks 104th. The Rockford Spanish Immersion elementary school also impresses with its 29th-place ranking and strong academic performance. At the middle school level, North Rockford Middle School stands out, ranking 23rd out of 897 middle schools in Michigan.

While the Rockford Public Schools district as a whole performs very well, there is a significant gap in performance between the high-achieving elementary and middle schools and the lower-performing River Valley Academy high school. This suggests the district may need to focus on supporting and improving its alternative high school program. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates vary widely, from very low at some elementary schools to extremely high at River Valley Academy, an area the district may want to investigate further.
