Summary:

The 49657 zip code is home to a single public high school, McBain High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the McBain Rural Agricultural Schools district. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it generally performs around the state average on academic measures, with some strengths and weaknesses across different subject areas.

McBain High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and a dropout rate of 7.6%, which are both areas of concern. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are mixed, with some subjects above the state average and others below. Per-student spending is $14,154, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.6.

Overall, while McBain High School has some positive attributes, it also faces several challenges that may require targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. The school's fluctuating performance and 3-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that its quality may be inconsistent, and the high rate of chronic absenteeism is a significant concern that could be impacting student learning and achievement.
