Summary:
The 49659 zip code is home to a single high school, Mancelona High School, which serves the Mancelona community. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, its overall performance has been below the state average, with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and subpar academic proficiency across various subjects.
Mancelona High School, part of the Mancelona Public Schools district, has 252 students and faces significant challenges. The school's 2-star district rating and ranking of 350 out of 613 districts in Michigan suggest room for improvement. Graduation rates of 82.8% and dropout rates of 7.6% are both concerning, as is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%. Academically, the school lags behind state averages in proficiency on M-Step and SAT assessments.
Despite the school's struggles, it appears to be investing more resources per student than the state average, with per-student spending of $16,218. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio of 15.9 is slightly lower than the state average. These factors suggest a potential focus on addressing the needs of the student population, which includes a high percentage (71.03%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community. Further analysis would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's performance and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
