Summary:

The 48849 zip code is home to a single high school, Lakewood High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, it performs reasonably well academically, with students outperforming state averages in some subject areas like reading/writing and social studies. However, the school lags behind the state average in mathematics proficiency.

Lakewood High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a dropout rate of 7.6% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which could be an area of concern. With a free/reduced lunch rate of nearly 40%, Lakewood High School serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support.

The school's per-student spending of $12,941 is on the higher end, which could indicate a focus on providing resources and support for students. The student-teacher ratio at Lakewood High School is 21.6 for 2023-2024. Overall, while the school has room for improvement, it is performing at a relatively average level compared to other Lakewood Public Schools in Michigan.
