Summary:
The 48604 zip code area in Saginaw, Michigan is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. These schools serve a high-poverty student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 87.75% to 95.47% across the district.
While North Saginaw Charter Academy stands out with relatively higher test scores and a lower student-teacher ratio, the other schools in the area struggle with very low proficiency rates in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Carrollton High School has a higher 4-year graduation rate and lower dropout rate compared to Omni High School. However, all schools in the 48604 zip code face high chronic absenteeism rates, around 30%, which likely contributes to the overall low academic performance.
Spending per student varies widely, from $11,325 at Omni High to $20,814 at Zilwaukee K8 School, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation that may be impacting student outcomes. Addressing chronic absenteeism, ensuring equitable funding, and implementing targeted interventions may be key to improving educational outcomes across the Carrollton Public Schools, North Saginaw Charter Academy, and Saginaw School District of the City of in this high-poverty area.
