Summary:
The Voyageur Academy district in Michigan operates two schools: Voyageur Academy, an elementary school, and Voyageur College Prep, a high school. Both schools serve a predominantly African American student population, with over 70% of students identifying as such, and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, exceeding 96% at each school.
The data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance and overall well-being of these schools. Both Voyageur Academy and Voyageur College Prep have consistently ranked in the bottom tiers of Michigan schools, with Voyageur Academy ranking in the bottom 5% of elementary schools and Voyageur College Prep ranking in the bottom 3% of high schools. Proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies are significantly below state averages, ranging from as low as 3.85% to 21.8% proficient or better.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with Voyageur Academy reporting a rate of 61.2% and Voyageur College Prep at 49.6%, both well above the state average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism is likely a major contributing factor to the low academic performance and other challenges faced by these schools. Additionally, Voyageur College Prep has a four-year graduation rate of 86.9%, which is lower than the state average, and a dropout rate of 10.4%, which is higher than the state average.
