Summary:
ZIP code 48092 in Warren, Michigan, is served by 7 schools—2 elementary, 2 middle, 2 high, and 1 alternative—spanning the Warren Consolidated Schools, Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy, and Michigan Collegiate districts, with a total enrollment of about 4,309 students.
The standout school is Middle School Mathematics Science Technology Center (MS²TC), a selective magnet with just 61 students, a 4.2:1 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending of $46,914—nearly three times the next highest school. It earns a perfect 5-star rating and posts proficiency rates of 87-89% in math, science, and social studies, far outpacing every other school in the area. At the other extreme, Michigan Collegiate MiddleHigh School struggles with a 0-star rating, bottom-5% state ranking, just 5.5% math proficiency, a 61.1% chronic absenteeism rate, and only $3,594 spent per student. Among traditional schools, Lean Elementary School shows the most improvement, with 3rd grade math jumping to 61.1% proficiency and the lowest chronic absenteeism (19.7%) among non-magnet schools, while Warren Mott High School rebounds to the 42nd percentile with an 87% graduation rate, though its 46.5% absenteeism remains a concern.
Chronic absenteeism is a systemic issue, affecting all non-magnet schools above the 27.9% state average, and math proficiency lags behind reading across nearly every campus—for example, Warren Mott posts 50.5% reading but only 17% math on the SAT. The two charter schools, Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Dequindre and Michigan Collegiate, serve the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students yet achieve the lowest outcomes, while district schools like Beer Middle School and Green Acres Elementary School perform near state averages. The $43,000 per-student spending gap between MS²TC and Michigan Collegiate highlights a stark resource inequity, and the data suggests that addressing attendance and investing in math intervention could yield the greatest gains across this diverse educational landscape.
