Summary:

The 48856 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Fulton Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some positive attributes, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in 4th grade English Language Arts and 5th grade Math, it also struggles in several areas compared to state averages.

Fulton Elementary School's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is significantly higher than the state average, which may be contributing to its inconsistent academic performance. The school's proficiency rates on the M-Step assessments are mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others performing below. Additionally, over 50% of Fulton Elementary School's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it spends more per student than the state average, at $15,161 per student. This suggests that the school may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore ways to optimize spending to improve student outcomes. Overall, the data indicates that Fulton Elementary School has room for improvement in several areas, including academic achievement, attendance, and resource allocation, in order to better serve its students and community.
