Summary:
The 49094 zip code area is home to 3 public schools - Union City Elementary School, Union City High School, and Union City Middle School - all part of the Union City Community Schools district. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, Union City Middle School stands out as the top performer in the area.
Union City Middle School has the highest statewide ranking among the 3 schools, placing in the top 40% of Michigan middle schools. It also boasts the strongest test scores across various subjects and grade levels, outperforming the other schools and the state averages. In contrast, the other schools in the district struggle to meet state academic standards, indicating a need for more targeted interventions and support to improve student achievement.
Across the district, the schools face high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community. While the schools spend more per student than the state average, the lower-than-average graduation rate and higher-than-average dropout rate at Union City High School are concerning and warrant further investigation to understand the underlying factors and implement strategies to improve student retention and success.
