Summary:
The 48471 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school for students with special education needs. While the schools in this area face some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, there are also several standout performers worth highlighting.
Sandusky Elementary School consistently ranks in the top half of Michigan elementary schools and outperforms state averages on key assessments, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and 3rd grade Math. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is an area for improvement. In contrast, Sandusky Junior-Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 315th to 446th out of 735-743 Michigan high schools over the past 3 years, and its graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average.
The Sanilac Independent School District (ISD) Special Education Services school provides specialized services to students with special education needs, with a very low student-teacher ratio of 3.7. While the school has a high graduation rate of 82.8% and a relatively low dropout rate of 7.6%, it also shares the high chronic absenteeism rate of around 29.5% with the other schools in the area. Across all three schools, the high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggest that the 48471 zip code area may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement.
