Summary:
The 48021 zip code area in Michigan is home to three high schools: Eastpointe High School, Eastpointe Virtual Academy, and Eastpointe Alternative Center, all part of the Eastpointe Community Schools district. Unfortunately, the data suggests these schools are struggling, with consistently low academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism and dropouts, and serving a high-need student population.
None of the three high schools in the 48021 zip code area appear to be standout performers. Eastpointe High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Michigan high schools over the past 3 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The other two schools, Eastpointe Virtual Academy and Eastpointe Alternative Center, do not have any statewide ranking or rating information available, but their key metrics are also concerning. All three schools have a 4-year graduation rate of 82.8%, significantly lower than the state average of around 81%, and dropout rates ranging from 7.6%, higher than the state average of 6-7%.
Proficiency rates on state assessments are extremely low across all three schools, well below state averages. For example, only 4.94% of 11th graders at Eastpointe High School were proficient in science, compared to the state average of 34.9%. Additionally, all three schools have very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 30%. These systemic challenges suggest the need for significant interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
