Summary:

The 48174 zip code area is home to 12 schools across two school districts - Woodhaven-Brownstown School District and Romulus Community Schools. The schools include 6 elementary, 3 middle, and 3 high schools, with no alternative schools in the area.

Among the standout schools, Barth Elementary School ranks 541 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools and is rated 3 out of 5 stars, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, the two charter schools, Summit Academy North Elementary School and Metro Charter Academy, generally have lower test scores and rankings compared to the traditional public schools in the area.

The data also reveals significant disparities in school performance and resources within the 48174 zip code. For example, the schools in the Romulus Community Schools district tend to have lower rankings and test scores compared to the one school in the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District. Additionally, the high schools in the area have graduation rates around 82.8% and dropout rates around 7.6%, which are areas of concern.
