Summary:
The 48532 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school), and no middle schools, all part of the Carman-Ainsworth Community Schools district. While the district is ranked 427 out of 610 in Michigan and has a 2-star rating, Randels Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with stronger proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism compared to the other elementary school, Dye Elementary.
The data also reveals significant challenges faced by the schools in this area. CarmanAinsworth High School performs below the state average in all tested subjects, while the alternative high school, CA Alternative EdAtlantis, faces even more severe issues, with extremely low graduation rates (17.4%) and high dropout rates (23.8%). Additionally, there is a notable disparity in per-student spending between the alternative high school ($9,220) and the traditional high school ($16,990), which may contribute to the alternative school's lower performance.
Overall, the schools in the 48532 zip code area serve a diverse student population, with a majority of African American students and significant percentages of White and multi-racial students. However, the data suggests that these schools are generally underperforming compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and other challenges that may require additional resources and support to address.
