Summary:
The 49329 zip code is home to two schools, Tri County Senior High School and Tri County Middle School, both of which are part of the Tri County Area Schools district. Unfortunately, the data suggests that these schools are performing well below the state averages on a variety of key metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and statewide rankings.
Both Tri County Senior High School and Tri County Middle School are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Michigan, with 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The high school ranked between 396-471 out of 735-743 Michigan high schools over the past 3 years, while the middle school ranked between 484-588 out of 883-897 Michigan middle schools. The schools' proficiency rates on state assessments, such as the M-Step and SAT exams, were significantly lower than the state averages, particularly in math and science.
Additionally, the schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (53.86% at the high school and 62.33% at the middle school). The spending per student was also relatively high, at $12,965 for the high school and $14,469 for the middle school, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation and utilization within the district. These factors, combined with the schools' chronic absenteeism rates, may be contributing to the overall academic underperformance in the 49329 zip code.
