Summary:
The 49643 zip code is home to a single public magnet elementary school, Lake Ann Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 187 students. The school is part of the Benzie County Central Schools district, which is ranked 374 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lake Ann Elementary School's test scores are generally higher than the district averages but lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is significantly higher than the state average, which is a concern. Additionally, 52.41% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1 suggests smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students, which could be a contributing factor to the school's higher-than-district test scores. However, the lack of spending per student data is concerning and may indicate a potential lack of resources or funding for the school, which could be an area for further investigation.
