Best Public Schools in Zip Code 49756

Summary:

The 49756 zip code in Michigan has only one school, Lewiston Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools district. The district is ranked 337 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lewiston Elementary School appears to be an underperforming school, with consistently lower proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the 3rd-grade proficiency rate in M-Step/English Language Arts was 14.81% at Lewiston Elementary, compared to 29.1% for the district and 38.9% for the state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $20,811 in the 2023-2024 school year, the academic performance remains below the district and state averages. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating resources to support student learning. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 79.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors may contribute to the school's underperformance and the need for targeted interventions to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
