Summary:
The 49013 zip code is home to a single high school, Bangor High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Bangor Public Schools (Van Buren) district. While the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with strong results on the M-Step but lower proficiency on the SAT, it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a predominantly low-income student population.
Bangor High School is ranked 367 out of 739 Michigan high schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Notably, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is significantly higher than the state average, which may be contributing to its academic performance challenges.
On the academic front, Bangor High School's proficiency rates on the M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies assessments for 11th-grade students were 39.3% and 51.8%, respectively, which were higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's proficiency rates on the SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and SAT/Mathematics assessments for 11th-grade students were 44.6% and 12.5%, respectively, which were lower than the district and state averages. This inconsistency in performance suggests the school may need to focus on improving its SAT preparation and instruction.
