Summary:
The 48035 zip code area is home to 11 schools across three different school districts: Fraser Public Schools, Clintondale Community Schools, and Huron Academy. The schools include 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Within this diverse educational landscape, a few schools stand out. Salk Elementary School and Huron Academy Grades 3-8 perform above district and state averages on academic metrics, with Salk Elementary earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the top half of Michigan elementary schools. In contrast, while Clintondale High School has a low 1-star rating, it maintains a relatively high 82.8% four-year graduation rate compared to the district.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges across the region. All schools in the 48035 zip code area have high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state average. Additionally, many schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This correlation is reflected in the wide range of academic performance, with some schools, such as Tenniswood Elementary, struggling with very low proficiency rates well below state averages. Addressing these disparities in educational opportunities and resources will be a critical priority for the district and community.
