Summary:
The 48098 zip code area in Troy, Michigan is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Troy School District, except for Woodland Elementary which is part of the Avondale School District. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools, with Hamilton Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while other schools in the district demonstrate more average or below-average performance.
Troy High School, the lone high school in the data set, shows strong academic performance, ranking in the top 105 high schools in Michigan for the past 3 years and having high proficiency rates on the SAT, particularly in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. The school also has a relatively low dropout rate of 7.6%. In contrast, all schools in the data set have a concerning high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, an area that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
The data also reveals significant variations in student demographics and school funding, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 9.35% at Hamilton Elementary to 33.23% at Woodland Elementary, and per-student spending ranging from $15,414 at Hamilton Elementary to $29,660 at the Troy Early Childhood program. These disparities suggest potential equity concerns that warrant further investigation to ensure all students have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.
