Summary:

The 49349 zip code is home to a single high school, White Cloud High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data indicates significant challenges, with consistently low rankings, below-average academic proficiency, and high rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout.

White Cloud High School has been ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools for the past three school years, with a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in core subjects like science, social studies, and math are all significantly below the state averages.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's challenges. White Cloud High School has a high percentage of students (69.64%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending is also lower than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is higher. While the data suggests opportunities for targeted interventions and support, the persistent underperformance of White Cloud High School within the White Cloud Public Schools district highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the challenges facing the school and its community.
