The 49408 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative high school). These schools serve a mix of student populations, with high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism across the district.

Among the standout schools in the area is Innocademy Allegan Campus, a public charter elementary/middle school that has relatively strong academic performance compared to the other schools in the 49408 zip code. Another notable school is Fennville Middle School, which has shown improvement in its statewide ranking and has strong PSAT performance. However, the Fennville Public Schools district, which encompasses most of the schools in the data set, is ranked 440 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has an overall 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting the district as a whole is struggling and may need to focus on improving academic outcomes.

Across the schools in the 49408 zip code, there are significant achievement gaps compared to state averages, particularly in math and science. Addressing these gaps, as well as the high chronic absenteeism rates, should be a priority for the district. The data also reveals that the Fennville Alternative High School has relatively high graduation rates and low dropout rates, indicating the alternative program may be effectively serving its target population.
