Summary:

The 49508 zip code in Michigan is home to a single high school, East Kentwood High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and demographics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of concern but also opportunities for improvement.

East Kentwood High School is ranked 420 out of 739 Michigan high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 82.8%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate was 7.6%, higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for 2023-2024 was 29.5%, quite high. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments were generally lower than the Kentwood Public Schools district and the state of Michigan averages.

However, the school's higher per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest that there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. The school's significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 67.23% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may also contribute to the academic challenges and indicate the need for additional resources and support to address socioeconomic factors that can impact student success.
