Summary:
The 49801 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, North Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 4th grade. Despite being the only elementary school in the area, North Elementary has maintained relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and Math exceeding district and state averages.
North Elementary School faces some socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate. However, the school is well-resourced, spending $13,979 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 16.7. These factors may contribute to the school's academic success, as it has consistently ranked between 286 and 519 out of 1,470-1,488 Michigan elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a SchoolDigger rating fluctuating between 3 and 4 stars out of 5.
Without additional elementary schools in the 49801 zip code area, it is difficult to draw meaningful comparisons and identify true standout schools. Expanding the analysis to a broader geographic region or including more schools would provide a more comprehensive understanding of Iron Mountain Public Schools' performance and the relative strengths of North Elementary School.
