Summary:
The 49751 zip code area is home to two schools - JohannesburgLewiston ElementaryMiddle School (serving grades K-8) and JohannesburgLewiston High School (serving grades 9-12). Both schools are part of the Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools district and face significant challenges, with below-average performance on various metrics.
The elementary/middle school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools over the past 3 years, with performance on state assessments generally below the district and state averages. The school also has a concerning high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%. In contrast, the high school's performance has fluctuated, with its statewide ranking ranging from 249th to 379th out of 735-743 Michigan high schools over the past 3 years. The high school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is relatively high.
Both schools have relatively high spending per student, at $20,857 for the elementary/middle school and $22,922 for the high school. However, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, as the schools continue to underperform compared to district and state averages. The high chronic absenteeism rates, which are alarmingly high at 29.5% for both schools, likely contribute to the overall academic challenges faced by these institutions.
