Crossroads Charter Academy

The Crossroads Charter Academy district in Michigan operates two schools: Crossroads Charter Academy K5 (an elementary school) and Crossroads Charter Academy 612 (a high school). While the elementary school has a more diverse student population, the high school stands out with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores in certain subjects, and a higher graduation rate.

The high school, Crossroads Charter Academy 612, has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to a 2-star rating for the elementary school. The high school also outperforms the elementary school in proficiency rates for science, social studies, and evidence-based reading and writing on the SAT. However, the high school has a lower proficiency rate in mathematics compared to the state average. Additionally, the high school has a concerning 27.2% dropout rate, which is significantly higher than the elementary school's performance.

Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and lower-than-average proficiency rates in many subject areas compared to the state. The elementary school has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its lower academic performance. Overall, the data analysis suggests that the Crossroads Charter Academy district could benefit from further investigation into the factors contributing to these trends and the implementation of strategies to address the areas of concern across both schools.
