Summary:
The 48876 zip code area is home to three schools in the Potterville Public Schools district, serving students from elementary through high school. While the schools show varying levels of academic performance, some standout schools and key insights emerge from the data.
Potterville High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 273 out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and outperforms the state average in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing proficiency for 11th graders. In contrast, Potterville Elementary School struggles academically, with proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math for 3rd and 4th graders well below the state averages.
Potterville Middle School shows mixed results, with some grade levels performing above the state average (e.g., 5th grade English Language Arts and Science) and others performing significantly below (e.g., 5th and 7th grade Math). Across the district, high chronic absenteeism rates and a relatively high dropout rate at the high school level indicate a need to address student engagement and attendance issues. Additionally, the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggest that the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, which may require targeted interventions and additional resources to support student success.
