Summary:
The 48726 zip code area is home to two schools - Cass City Elementary and Cass City Junior and Senior High School, both part of the Cass City Public Schools district. While the elementary school consistently performs in the top 20-25% of Michigan schools, the high school has room for improvement, ranking in the top 30-35% of state high schools.
Cass City Elementary stands out for its strong academic achievement, with students scoring well above state averages in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. The school also maintains a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Cass City Junior and Senior High School has room for improvement, with lower proficiency rates in certain subjects and a slightly higher dropout rate than desired, despite its solid overall performance.
The data suggests an opportunity for collaboration between the elementary and high school, as the elementary school's success could provide valuable insights to help improve outcomes at the high school level. Additionally, the higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school compared to the high school indicates that the elementary school serves a more economically disadvantaged population, which may be a factor in its strong academic performance.
