Summary:
The 49337 zip code is home to a single public high school, Newaygo High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Newaygo Public School District. While the school has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, its statewide ranking has declined, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with other high schools in Michigan.
Newaygo High School's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in social studies but weaknesses in mathematics. The school's four-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. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which may be contributing to its academic struggles.
Despite the school's above-average spending per student and student-teacher ratio, the data suggests that these investments may not be fully translating into improved student outcomes. The high percentage of students (59.49%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require additional resources and support to help students succeed.
