Summary:
Joseph K. Lumsden Bahweting Anishnabe Academy is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the area, with 596 students. The school has a strong focus on serving the local Anishnabe community, with nearly half of its student population identifying as Native American, significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, the school's performance is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels exceeding state averages, while others lag behind. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 30% is a concern, and its relatively high spending of $23,876 per student may reflect the additional resources required to support the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, with 61.24% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.2, suggest a focus on personalized attention, but its fluctuating statewide ranking indicates inconsistent performance over the years.
Overall, Joseph K. Lumsden Bahweting Anishnabe Academy is working to address the challenges of serving a diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, with a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. Continued efforts to support the unique needs of its students and improve academic outcomes will be crucial for the school's long-term success within the Joseph K. Lumsden Bahweting Anishnabe Academy district.
