Summary:
The 48634 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Linwood Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 130 students. While the school has relatively high per-student funding and a low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is consistently below both the Pinconning Area Schools district average and the Michigan state average across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
Linwood Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 94.62% of students identifying as white. However, the school faces challenges related to high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 19.4% for the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population (57.69%) is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's academic underperformance.
Despite the school's relatively high funding and resources, the analysis suggests that simply increasing these factors may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school may need to examine other elements, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and support services, to address the root causes of its underperformance and provide the necessary support for its students to succeed academically.
