Summary:
The 48906 zip code area of Lansing, Michigan is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area generally perform below the Lansing Public School District and Michigan state averages on state assessments, Cumberland School stands out as a relatively high-performing school, with 27.3% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and Math in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
The data also reveals some challenges faced by the schools in this area. Sheridan Road Middle School has particularly low proficiency rates, with only 13.5% of 5th graders proficient in English Language Arts and 6.6% proficient in Math in 2024-2025. Additionally, Blended Learning Academies Credit Recovery High School, a charter high school, has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a dropout rate of 7.6%, which are areas of concern.
The schools in the 48906 zip code area serve predominantly low-income student populations, with all schools having high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.58% at Cumberland School to 99.33% at MidMichigan Leadership Academy. This suggests that the schools in this area may face unique challenges that are not being adequately addressed at the Lansing Public School District or Mid-Michigan Leadership Academy level.
