Summary:
The 49262 zip code in Michigan is home to two underperforming schools, North AdamsJerome Middle/High School and North AdamsJerome Elementary School, which are part of the North Adams-Jerome Public Schools district. Both schools are performing significantly below state averages on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism, suggesting that the overall educational outcomes in this area may be a concern.
The data indicates that the schools in the 49262 zip code are facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. Both schools have low statewide rankings and 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger, with the middle/high school ranking between 339 and 556 out of 666-835 Michigan high schools and the elementary school ranking between 1042 and 1296 out of 1470-1488 Michigan elementary schools. Additionally, the schools have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, with over 67% and 72% of students receiving this assistance, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, at 29.5%, are particularly concerning, as this can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement. While the elementary school spends more per student ($13,660) compared to the middle/high school ($12,024), this higher spending does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for the elementary school students. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 49262 zip code are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students, and addressing the underlying issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in this area.
