Summary:
The 48504 zip code area of Flint, Michigan is home to 4 high schools that serve a predominantly low-income student population. These schools, which include Academy West Alternative Education, Hamady Community High School, Flex High North Flint, and The Learning CoOp, face significant academic challenges, with test scores well below state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.
Among the standout schools, The Learning CoOp stands out with the smallest enrollment of just 12 students and the highest per-student spending at $27,032, nearly double the next highest school. Flex High North Flint, a public charter school, has the second-lowest enrollment at 128 students and the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 90.62%, indicating a high-need student population. Despite the variations in school characteristics, the overall academic performance remains poor across the board, with all 4 schools struggling to meet state proficiency standards.
The data reveals that these high schools serve predominantly low-income communities, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 75% to over 90%. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique challenges faced by these students. The consistent underperformance across the schools presents an opportunity for focused, data-driven improvement initiatives that can help these institutions better support their students and improve academic outcomes.
