Summary:
The 48120 zip code area is home to two schools - Salina Intermediate 4 8, a middle school, and Salina Elementary P 3, an elementary school. Both schools serve predominantly White, high-poverty student populations and consistently underperform compared to Dearborn City School District and Michigan state averages on standardized tests.
Salina Intermediate 4 8 and Salina Elementary P 3 have student populations that are 97.68% and 99.26% White, respectively, with very small percentages of other racial groups. Both schools also have extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at over 87%. Despite the high poverty levels, the schools spend more per student than the state average, yet their academic performance remains well below district and state benchmarks across all grade levels and subject areas.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with Salina Intermediate 4 8 reporting a 25.7% rate and Salina Elementary P 3 an even higher rate of 36.8%. This lack of consistent student attendance likely contributes to the schools' struggles to improve student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in this zip code face complex challenges that require a multifaceted approach to address the needs of their high-poverty, predominantly White student populations and improve educational outcomes.
