Summary:
The 49415 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools (with 1 alternative high school and 1 adult education program). Overall, the Fruitport Community Schools district is a middle-of-the-road performer, ranking 226th out of 613 districts in Michigan and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools, Fruitport Middle School appears to be the strongest performer, ranking in the top 35% of Michigan middle schools and earning 3 out of 5 stars. Its test scores are generally above the district and state averages, particularly in 8th grade social studies and PSAT English Language Arts. In contrast, Edgewood Elementary School struggles with test scores, ranking in the bottom 40% of Michigan elementary schools.
The data also reveals some areas for improvement across the district, such as high chronic absenteeism rates (nearly double the state average) and varying levels of per-student spending ($11,432 to $15,387). The alternative high school and adult education programs serve a more economically disadvantaged population, with free/reduced lunch rates over 60%, which likely contributes to their lower overall performance compared to the traditional high school. By addressing these challenges and leveraging the strengths of standout schools like Fruitport Middle School, the Fruitport Community Schools district can work to better serve the students in the 49415 zip code area.
