Schools in Zip Code 48306

Zip code 48306, encompassing parts of Rochester and Rochester Hills, Michigan, is served by eight schools within the highly-ranked Rochester Community School District, which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide and includes four elementary schools and four secondary schools (two high schools and two middle schools).

This is an exceptionally high-performing area where every school far exceeds state averages, often by 25 to 40 percentage points in core subjects. The standout elementary school is Musson Elementary School, ranked 11th in Michigan, with 3rd grade math proficiency at 86.9% and 5th grade science at 82.2%. At the secondary level, Rochester Adams High School leads the district, ranked 15th statewide with a 98.9% graduation rate and 81.3% SAT reading proficiency. Van Hoosen Middle School is a rising star with 92.7% of 8th graders proficient in PSAT ELA. While Stoney Creek High School is also excellent (ranked 40th), it trails Adams in science and math, and its 23.5% chronic absenteeism rate is notably higher than the district norm. Among elementary schools, Baldwin Elementary School and Brewster Elementary School perform well, while Hugger Elementary School shows a slight downward trend, though it still ranks in the 88th percentile.

Families should note that free/reduced lunch rates are remarkably low (3-10%), reflecting an affluent community with strong parental support. Per-student spending varies from $13,910 to $17,905, yet higher spending doesn't always correlate with better results—Brewster spends the most but doesn't outperform Musson. A common pattern is a gradual decline in math proficiency from elementary (57-87%) through middle school (60-67%) to high school SAT math (55.6-66%), though scores remain far above state levels. Hart Middle School also excels with 87.5% PSAT ELA proficiency. Overall, this zip code offers an extraordinarily compelling educational environment where even the lowest-performing school exceeds state benchmarks by wide margins.
