Summary:
The 49455 zip code is home to a single high school, Shelby High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Shelby Public Schools district.
Shelby High School faces significant challenges, with low academic performance across key metrics. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments and the SAT are well below the Michigan state averages, particularly in mathematics and science.

This suggests the school's performance is declining relative to other schools in the state. While the data does not provide information on per-student spending, addressing the school's resource needs and implementing targeted strategies to support student learning and attendance may be crucial to improving Shelby High School's academic outcomes and overall performance.
