Summary:
The 48314 zip code area in Michigan is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. Based on the available data, Dresden Elementary School appears to be the standout performer, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages across most grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Burr Elementary School and UCS Alternative Learning Center seem to be the weaker performing schools in the area, with consistently lower proficiency rates and other concerning metrics.
Dresden Elementary School ranks in the top 44% of Michigan elementary schools, while Burr Elementary is in the bottom 70%. Dresden also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% compared to the very high 81.32% free/reduced lunch rate at Burr Elementary, suggesting it may serve a more advantaged student population. The high school option, UCS Alternative Learning Center, has very low SAT proficiency rates of only 15.3% and a high dropout rate of 7.6%.
Across all 3 schools, spending per student is relatively high, ranging from $15,660 to $17,194, and student-teacher ratios are on the higher side. Free/reduced lunch rates are also quite high, from 61.94% at Dresden Elementary to 81.32% at Burr Elementary, indicating these schools serve predominantly economically disadvantaged populations. The data reveals significant achievement gaps between the schools and the district/state averages, particularly at Burr Elementary, and high chronic absenteeism rates, which are likely contributing to the low academic performance.
