Summary:
Knapp Charter Academy is the sole elementary school in the Knapp Charter Academy district, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This diverse school serves students from prekindergarten through 6th grade, with a student population that is 40.1% African American, 15.97% Hispanic, 25.69% White, and 17.36% identifying as two or more races.
Academically, Knapp Charter Academy has a mixed performance, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state average on M-Step and PSAT tests, while others fall below. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.9% is a concern, and may be contributing to its academic challenges. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is relatively low, and it spends $12,985 per student, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the economic disadvantages faced by the majority of its students, who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, Knapp Charter Academy is making efforts to support its diverse student population. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and targeting interventions to improve academic performance in specific areas could be key priorities for the school moving forward.
