Summary:

The 49006 zip code area in Michigan is home to three elementary schools: KingWestwood Elementary School, Arcadia Elementary School, and Indian Prairie Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Kalamazoo Public Schools district.

Among the three schools, KingWestwood Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with a statewide ranking of 421 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Arcadia Elementary School is ranked 1,136 out of 1,488 schools and has a 1-star rating, while Indian Prairie Elementary School does not have recent ranking data available.

Despite the differences in academic performance, all three schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.5% to 29.5% for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the schools serve student populations with varying levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch rates, which range from 37.59% at KingWestwood Elementary School to 68.77% at Arcadia Elementary School. These factors may contribute to the disparities in academic achievement observed across the schools in the 49006 zip code area.
