Summary:
The 48146 zip code in Michigan is home to a single middle school, Lincoln Park Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools over the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lincoln Park Middle School's academic achievement lags significantly behind state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 25% of 6th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.6%. Math proficiency is particularly low, with only 11.5% of 6th graders and 13.5% of 7th graders meeting proficiency standards, compared to state averages of 31.5% and 33.3%, respectively. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% in 2023-2024 may contribute to these low academic outcomes.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $20,391 and a low student-teacher ratio of 16.9, its academic performance remains poor compared to both the Lincoln Park School District and the state of Michigan averages. This suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges that require a more comprehensive approach to improve educational outcomes for its students, who come from a high-poverty background with 91.23% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
