Summary:
The zip code 49622 is home to a single alternative school, Central Lake Public Schools, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 247 students. The school has a predominantly White student population (93.52%) and faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 76.52% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Central Lake Public Schools has a strong 96.1% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the state average. However, the school's test scores show inconsistent academic performance, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average while others lag behind. Additionally, the school faces a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 43.4%, significantly higher than the state average.
To address these challenges, Central Lake Public Schools may need to focus on improving academic outcomes more consistently across all grade levels and subject areas, while also addressing the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rate. The school's relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.5, suggests that it may have the resources to provide additional support and interventions to its students, particularly those facing socioeconomic disadvantages.
