Best Public Schools in Zip Code 48847

The 48847 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (North Elementary and South Elementary) and 1 high school (Ithaca High School) - all part of the Ithaca Public Schools district.

Of the three schools, Ithaca High School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts strong test scores, with students performing above the state average in most subject areas, and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8%. In contrast, the two elementary schools, North Elementary and South Elementary, have more average performance, ranking in the middle to lower half of Michigan elementary schools with 3 and 2 star ratings, respectively, and test scores generally below the state averages.

Across all three schools, there are some areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%, and relatively high percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch at the elementary schools (around 50%). However, the district appears to be allocating funds fairly, with consistent spending per student across the schools, though the lower student-teacher ratio at South Elementary may indicate it receives additional resources.
