Summary:
The 49417 zip code area is home to 12 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Grand Haven Area Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 153 out of 610 in Michigan and has a 4-star rating, the schools in this area show significant performance disparities, with some standout institutions and others struggling with challenges.
The top-performing elementary schools in the area are Rosy Mound School, ranked #14 out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools, and Peach Plains School, ranked #21. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with over 70% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math. In contrast, other elementary schools in the area, such as Ferry School, struggle with lower performance and higher rates of economic disadvantage.
At the high school level, Grand Haven High School stands out with a 91.7% four-year graduation rate and strong academic performance. However, the district's alternative high schools, Central High School and Grand Haven Cyber School, face significant challenges, including much lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism. These disparities within the district suggest the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and support for all students, regardless of their school or background.
