Summary:
The 48837 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Grand Ledge Public Schools district, except for Strange School which is part of the Oneida Township S/D #3 district. The schools in this area demonstrate a range of performance, with standout schools like Willow Ridge Elementary School and Kenneth T Beagle Middle School earning high ratings, while the Relevant Academy of Eaton County high school lags behind.
Willow Ridge Elementary School stands out as an exceptional performer, ranking 71st out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating. Its students demonstrate strong proficiency in English Language Arts and Math, significantly outpacing district and state averages. In contrast, Relevant Academy of Eaton County, a public charter high school, has a low 1-star rating and significantly lower test scores compared to the traditional Grand Ledge High School.
The Grand Ledge Public Schools district as a whole performs well, with all of its schools earning 4- or 5-star ratings. However, there is some variability in performance within the district, and the high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is a concern. Additionally, the range in free/reduced lunch rates, from around 30% to over 75%, suggests significant economic diversity within the school community, which may be an important factor to consider when analyzing school performance.
