Summary:
The 48755 zip code area is home to three schools - Laker Elementary, Laker High School, and Laker Middle School - all part of the Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port Laker Schools district. While the district is ranked 199 out of 613 in Michigan with a 3-star rating, Laker Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the set, with a statewide ranking of 420 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools and a 4-star rating.
Laker Elementary boasts strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies that exceed the district and state averages. In contrast, Laker High School has mixed test scores, with strong performance in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT but lower proficiency rates in Math. Laker Middle School, on the other hand, has lower proficiency rates in Math compared to the district and state, but stronger performance in ELA, Science, and Social Studies.
Across the three schools, chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%, which may be an area for improvement. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary and middle school levels, suggest that the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges. The consistent spending per student across the schools, despite their varying performance, raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the potential impact of funding on educational outcomes.
