Summary:
The city of Mays, Indiana is home to a single public charter school, Mays Community Academy, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its consistently lower academic performance compared to state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Mays Community Academy's academic struggles are further compounded by a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.9%, which is much higher than the state average. Despite adequate per-student funding of $15,779, the school's resources do not appear to be effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's small, rural setting may present unique challenges in attracting and retaining high-quality teachers and providing a comprehensive educational program.
Overall, the data suggests that Mays Community Academy is facing significant obstacles in delivering a quality education to its students. Addressing the low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and potential equity and inclusion issues should be the school's top priorities in order to better serve the Mays community and improve student outcomes.
