These schools are part of the Ann Arbor Public Schools district, which is ranked 71 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the schools in the 48108 area, Scarlett Middle School stands out with relatively low test scores compared to the district and state averages, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and a high percentage of students (51.51%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, the Multicultural Academy, a public charter alternative school, has very low test scores but serves a high-need population with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The Washtenaw County Youth Center Educational Programs, another alternative high school, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a low dropout rate of 7.6%, despite serving a population with 82.35% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, the schools in the 48108 zip code area serve a high-need population, as evidenced by the high chronic absenteeism rates and free/reduced lunch rates. However, the test scores at most schools are significantly lower than the district and state averages, suggesting a need for additional support and resources. The wide range in spending per student and student-teacher ratios also indicates that the schools may have varying levels of funding and resources, which could contribute to the differences in academic performance.
