Summary:
The 48732 zip code in Michigan is home to two elementary schools: Verellen Elementary School and WR Bush Elementary School, both part of the Essexville-Hampton Public Schools district. While the schools have some differences in their historical performance and resource allocation, they currently appear to be performing at a similar level, with no clear standout among the two.
Verellen Elementary School has a statewide SchoolDigger ranking between 764 and 800 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools, with a 2-star rating. In contrast, WR Bush Elementary School had a stronger historical performance, with a 4-star rating in the 2005-2006 school year, but its current ranking is 297 out of 1,545 Michigan elementary schools. Both schools have similar proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math, with Verellen Elementary slightly outperforming WR Bush in 3rd-grade math but underperforming in 4th-grade English Language Arts.
One area of concern for both schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is consistent across the two institutions. Additionally, the similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the schools suggest that they are receiving comparable resources, which may contribute to their similar performance levels. While the data does not indicate any clear standout schools in the 48732 zip code, there may be opportunities for the two schools to learn from each other and implement best practices to drive improvement in areas such as academic achievement and student engagement.
