Summary:
Three Oaks Public School Academy is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Three Oaks Public School Academy district in Muskegon, Michigan. With a total enrollment of 348 students, the school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, as revealed by the data analysis.
Academically, Three Oaks Public School Academy struggles, with test scores well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Only 12.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also alarmingly high at 46.2%, which likely contributes to the poor academic performance.

Despite higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,823, the school's academic challenges persist, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. Addressing the root causes of the school's struggles, such as effective instructional strategies, targeted interventions, and strategies to improve attendance, will be crucial in supporting the students and improving learning outcomes.
