Summary:
The 49284 zip code area is home to three public schools - Springport Elementary School, Springport High School, and Springport Middle School - all part of the Springport Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked below average in the state, there are some bright spots among these schools.
Springport High School stands out with an above-average 4-year graduation rate of 82.8%, and Springport Middle School students outperform their peers on the 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts exam. At the elementary level, Springport Elementary School has higher 5th grade proficiency rates in M-Step English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. However, all three schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates around 29.5%, well above the state average, which likely contributes to the overall academic underperformance seen in test scores.
Additionally, the schools serve a student population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.45% at the high school to 62.36% at the elementary school. While per-student spending is relatively consistent across the three schools, around $14,600-$14,900, addressing the chronic absenteeism and supporting the economically disadvantaged students could be key focus areas for improvement in the Springport school district.
