Summary:
The 48326 zip code area in Michigan is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, which are part of either the Avondale School District or the Pontiac City School District. While the Avondale School District schools, such as Avondale High School, perform better than the lone Pontiac City School District school, Rogers School, all of the schools in this area face significant challenges related to student achievement, economic disadvantage, and resource allocation.
Avondale High School, the largest school in the area with 989 students, has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the middle of Michigan high schools. While its 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is decent, its dropout rate of 7.6% and chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% are areas of concern. In contrast, Auburn Elementary School, the smallest elementary school with 291 students, has a 1-star rating and ranks near the bottom of Michigan elementary schools, but it has a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, which could be an advantage.
The data also reveals a clear divide in school performance between the Avondale School District schools and the struggling Rogers School, which is part of the lower-performing Pontiac City School District. Rogers School has a 1-star rating, ranks near the bottom of Michigan elementary schools, and has significantly below-average test scores, particularly in math and science. Additionally, all of the schools in the 48326 zip code area face high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by their free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 61.16% to 78.8%, and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%.
