Summary:
The 49896 zip code area is home to two alternative schools, Nah Tah Wahsh Public School Academy and Hannahville Indian School, which serve a predominantly Native American student population. While these schools face challenges in academic performance and high dropout rates, they also have the resources to provide more individualized attention to their students.
Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community. Nah Tah Wahsh Public School Academy has a 90.27% free/reduced lunch rate, while Hannahville Indian School has an even higher rate of 98.16%. This suggests the schools may face unique challenges in supporting the educational and social-emotional needs of their students.
Despite these challenges, the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Nah Tah Wahsh Public School Academy at 9.2 and Hannahville Indian School at 10.8. This suggests the schools have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support to their students. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate at Nah Tah Wahsh Public School Academy of 38.3% remains a significant concern that likely contributes to the lower academic performance and high dropout rates.
