Summary:
The 49544 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data analysis reveals stark differences in academic performance and student outcomes among these schools, with Walker Charter Academy standing out as a high-performing institution, while the Kenowa Hills Public Schools district struggles to meet state standards.
Walker Charter Academy consistently outperforms the state and district averages in academic assessments, with over 60% proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across multiple grade levels. In contrast, Kenowa Hills High School and Kenowa Hills Middle School generally perform below the state averages in M-Step and SAT assessments. This suggests that the instructional approaches, curriculum, and resources at Walker Charter Academy may be more effective in driving student learning outcomes.
Additionally, the data reveals challenges in attendance and engagement, particularly at Kenowa Hills Middle School, which has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 31.6%. Kenowa Hills Pathways High School also has a relatively high dropout rate of 13.3%, which may be linked to the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (69.41%). These findings suggest that addressing attendance, engagement, and socioeconomic factors could be crucial for improving educational outcomes in the Kenowa Hills Public Schools district.
