Summary:
The 48026 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Fraser Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 299 out of 613 in Michigan and has a 3-star rating, some schools within the district stand out, such as Richards Middle School, which consistently ranks in the top 300-400 middle schools in the state, and Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School, which is in the top 50% of Michigan elementary schools.
The high schools in the area, Fraser High School and Arts Academy in the Woods, have 4-year graduation rates around 82.8%, slightly below the state average, and dropout rates around 7.6%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, all schools in the district have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%, a concerning trend across the district.
The schools in the 48026 zip code area also show varying levels of economic disadvantage, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 41.89% at Fraser High School to 62.86% at Thomas A. Edison Elementary. This disparity may contribute to the inconsistent academic performance observed across grade levels and subjects, with some schools performing above state averages in certain areas while struggling in others. Addressing these challenges and leveraging the successes of the higher-performing schools could be valuable next steps for the Fraser Public Schools district.
