Best Public Schools in Zip Code 49651

Summary:

The 49651 zip code area is home to three schools - Lake City Elementary School, Lake City High School, and Lake City Middle School - all part of the Lake City Area School District. While the elementary school maintains consistent academic performance, the high school faces some challenges, and the student population across all schools lacks racial diversity.

Lake City Elementary School stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in M-Step Math and Science, exceeding state averages in several grades. The school has also maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, placing it in the top half of Michigan elementary schools. In contrast, Lake City High School has a more mixed performance, with stronger results in 11th grade M-Step Science but weaker outcomes in Math and English Language Arts, as well as a 2-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year.

Across all three schools, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 90.88% to 91.88%, with limited racial diversity. Additionally, a significant portion of students, between 65.05% and 73.66%, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. These socioeconomic factors may present unique challenges and resource needs for the schools to address in order to support the academic success of all students in the community.
