Summary:
The 49070 zip code is home to two schools: Martin High School and Robert D Brandon Elementary School, both part of the Martin Public Schools district. While the elementary school shows some academic strengths, the high school struggles to meet state averages, with low proficiency rates and a below-average graduation rate. Attendance is a concern, with both schools reporting higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates.
Martin High School has relatively low academic performance, with proficiency rates below 50% in most subjects. Its graduation rate of 82.2% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.2% is higher. However, the school has a diverse student population and a student-teacher ratio that is higher than the state average. In contrast, Robert D Brandon Elementary School performs better than the state average in 3rd grade English Language Arts, but struggles in Math and Science. The elementary school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 20.1%, significantly higher than the state average.
The data suggests a significant disparity in academic performance between the high school and elementary school, with the elementary school spending more per student but having a lower student-teacher ratio. This raises questions about resource allocation and staffing priorities within the district. Additionally, the high rates of chronic absenteeism at both schools may be contributing to the academic challenges observed, and warrant further investigation to understand the underlying factors and address attendance issues.
