Summary:

The UCS Alternative Learning Center is the only high school located in the 48314 zip code area. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Utica Community Schools district.

The UCS Alternative Learning Center appears to be a struggling school, with a low statewide ranking of 711 out of 735 Michigan high schools and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 82.8%, a high dropout rate of 7.6%, and a significantly higher than average chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%. Student test scores in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing are also significantly lower than district and state averages.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, the UCS Alternative Learning Center faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and socioeconomic factors. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a student-teacher ratio that is higher than the state average, the school may require a multi-faceted approach to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
