Summary:
The 48134 zip code area is home to 9 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two school districts - Woodhaven-Brownstown School District and Flat Rock Community Schools. While some schools, like Wegienka Elementary School, excel in academic performance, others, such as Maple Grove Alternative High School, face significant challenges with low graduation rates and high dropout and chronic absenteeism.
The data reveals a stark contrast in performance between the Woodhaven-Brownstown and Flat Rock schools. Wegienka Elementary, part of the Woodhaven-Brownstown district, ranks in the top 25% of Michigan elementary schools, with strong test scores and low chronic absenteeism. In contrast, Flat Rock Community High School lags behind the state average in test scores, despite its high 4-year graduation rate. The alternative Maple Grove Alternative High School stands out for its exceptionally low graduation rate and high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.
Socioeconomic factors appear to play a significant role, as schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as River Heights Academy, tend to have lower performance metrics. Further analysis of factors like spending per student and racial diversity could provide valuable insights into the drivers of these performance disparities across the schools in the 48134 zip code area.
