Summary:

The 48917 zip code area in Michigan is home to three high schools: Waverly Senior High School, Insight School of Michigan, and SAIL Waverly. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Waverly Community Schools, Insight School of Michigan, and Ingham Independent School District (Isd) districts, respectively.

Among the three schools, SAIL Waverly stands out with its exceptionally small student-teacher ratio of 6:1, suggesting a highly personalized learning environment. However, the data for this school is incomplete, lacking information on state-wide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates. In contrast, Insight School of Michigan, a public charter virtual high school, has a relatively low state-wide ranking (703 out of 739 Michigan high schools) but a higher four-year graduation rate (82.8%) compared to the state average.

Academically, Waverly Senior High School and Insight School of Michigan both have lower proficiency rates compared to the state average in various subject areas, such as M-Step Science, M-Step Social Studies, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT Mathematics. Additionally, both schools have similar four-year graduation rates (82.8%) and dropout rates (7.6%), while serving a high percentage of students (59.19% and 79.65%, respectively) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the communities they serve.
