Summary:
Summit Academy North is a public charter school district in Romulus, Michigan, serving students in grades K-5 at a single elementary school. With a total enrollment of 610 students, the school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a large proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, Summit Academy North Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on M-Step assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 24.8% to 39.8% in English Language Arts and even lower in Math. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.5% is also a major concern, potentially contributing to the low academic performance. Additionally, a significant majority (76.56%) of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's challenges, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2, which could be a potential asset in addressing the academic and socioeconomic needs of its students. However, without additional context on the school's resource allocation and utilization, it is difficult to determine if the current funding level of $12,091 per student is adequate to support the necessary interventions and support programs required to improve student outcomes at Summit Academy North Elementary School.
