Canaan Community Academy


Summary:

Canaan Community Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the small town of Canaan, Indiana. This school faces significant challenges, with extremely low academic proficiency rates, high poverty and disadvantage among its student population, and other systemic issues that require urgent attention.

Academically, Canaan Community Academy is severely underperforming, with proficiency rates in English language arts, math, and social studies that are less than half the state average. The school also grapples with a staggering 39.4% chronic absenteeism rate, which further hinders student learning and achievement. Compounding these issues, the school serves a population that is overwhelmingly white (93.99%) and economically disadvantaged, with nearly 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the significant challenges facing Canaan Community Academy, the school's per-student spending of $12,029 appears to be relatively low, suggesting a need for increased funding and resources to address the complex issues at hand. Addressing the systemic problems within this school should be a top priority for the Canaan Community Academy district and the local community, in order to provide a high-quality education and brighter futures for the students it serves.
