Summary:
The 48625 zip code area in Michigan is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 alternative education program. While the schools face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across the district, there are a few bright spots worth highlighting.
Harrison Alternative Education stands out with a higher 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a lower dropout rate of 7.6% compared to the district average. However, its test scores are mixed, with 30% proficiency in 11th grade social studies. Harrison Middle School also has some positive indicators, including an 8th grade science proficiency rate of 43.9%, which is higher than the state average, and an 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts proficiency of 64.3%, close to the state benchmark.
Across the Harrison Community Schools district, the schools face significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates, extremely high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and test scores well below state averages. While the district spends more per student than the state average, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes, suggesting a need to re-evaluate resource allocation and utilization to address the systemic issues facing these schools.
