Countryside Academy

The Countryside Academy district in Michigan operates two schools - Countryside Academy Elementary and Countryside Academy MiddleHigh School. Both schools are performing below state averages on key metrics like academic proficiency, graduation rates, and attendance.

Across both schools, academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in core subjects lagging the state average by a wide margin. For example, only 33.3% of 3rd graders at Countryside Academy Elementary were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%. At the middle/high school level, the situation is even more dire, with just 21.3% of 6th graders and 19% of 7th graders demonstrating proficiency in English Language Arts, far below the state benchmarks. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with both schools reporting rates over 28% - well above the state average.

Graduation and dropout rates at Countryside Academy MiddleHigh School are also concerning, with a 4-year graduation rate of 81.5% and a dropout rate of 7.8%. Additionally, the student populations at both schools are predominantly minority, with over 80% of students identifying as African American or Hispanic. This suggests a need for targeted support and resources to address the unique needs of these student populations. Overall, the Countryside Academy district faces significant challenges in improving academic outcomes, attendance, and student success across its schools.
