Summary:
The 48209 zip code area of Detroit, Michigan is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, all part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District, except for 3 charter schools. While the schools face significant challenges, a few stand out for their relatively stronger performance.
Clippert Academy, a middle school, has the highest performance in the data set, ranking 541 out of 890 Michigan middle schools and earning a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The Cesar Chavez High School and Cesar Chavez Middle School, both charter schools, also perform relatively well, ranking in the top half of Michigan schools in their respective categories and earning a 1-out-of-5-star rating. Additionally, Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy stands out for its strong performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, compared to other elementary and middle schools in the area.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing the schools in this zip code, including low academic achievement, high poverty and free/reduced lunch rates (ranging from 75% to 99.13%), and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates (around 29.5% across all schools). The wide range in spending per student, from $12,087 to $23,324, suggests potential inequities in funding and resources. Targeted interventions and resource allocation may be needed to address these systemic issues and improve educational outcomes for students in the 48209 zip code area.
