Summary:
The 49457 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Twin Lake School, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Reeths-Puffer Schools district. While Twin Lake School has a diverse student population, it faces some academic challenges, with test scores consistently below district and state averages. The school also grapples with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate and a large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic factors that may impact student performance.
Twin Lake School's ranking within Michigan elementary schools has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 616 to 720 out of 1,486 schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 766th and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores in English Language Arts and Math for 3rd and 4th grades are generally below the Reeths-Puffer Schools district and Michigan state averages, with only 41.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 31.5% for the district and 39.6% for the state.
Despite these challenges, Twin Lake School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and per-student spending of $12,716 for the 2022-2023 school year. The data suggests that the school could benefit from a focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, raising test scores, and supporting students from low-income families to improve overall academic performance and student outcomes.
