Summary:

The 48867 zip code in Michigan is home to three elementary schools: Bryant School, Emerson School, and Central School, all part of the Owosso Public Schools district. While the schools share a common geographic area, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.

Among the three schools, Emerson School stands out as the top performer, with the highest overall test scores and a ranking of 822 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Emerson School has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the other two schools, suggesting a potential link between socioeconomic factors and academic outcomes. In contrast, Bryant School has the lowest proficiency rates, particularly in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Math.

While Central School may not have the highest overall test scores, it stands out for its strong performance in Math, with 3rd and 4th-grade Math scores significantly exceeding the district and state averages. Central School also has the lowest student-teacher ratio among the three schools. Across all three schools, however, the data reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area for further investigation and targeted interventions.
