Summary:
The 49774 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Pickford Public Schools, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 463 students. While the school boasts an exceptional 97.8% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, its academic performance, particularly in Math, is generally below the state averages across most grade levels and subject areas.
Pickford Public Schools has a diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation (24.41%) and a relatively high percentage of students (44.71%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending of $26,436 is higher than the state average, which may be due to the unique needs of the student population or the school's status as an alternative school.
Despite the school's academic challenges, its high graduation and low dropout rates are commendable. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate (43.3%) is a concern and may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions, particularly in Math, could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Pickford Public Schools.
