Best Public Schools in Zip Code 49663

Summary:

The 49663 zip code area is home to three schools that make up the Manton Consolidated Schools district, serving students from elementary through high school. While the elementary school stands out with strong academic performance, the middle and high schools face challenges in student achievement and attendance.

Manton Consolidated Elementary School is the top performer in the district, ranking in the top 20% of Michigan elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school excels in 3rd and 4th grade M-Step English Language Arts and Math, outpacing state averages. However, it also serves a high-need student population, with nearly 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

In contrast, Manton Consolidated Middle School and Manton Consolidated High School face more significant challenges. The middle school ranks in the top 30% of Michigan middle schools, with strong performance in 8th grade science and social studies, but the high school ranks in the bottom 30% of Michigan high schools, struggling with proficiency rates and graduation rates. All three schools share high chronic absenteeism rates, which may contribute to the academic performance disparities observed across the district.
