Four Corners Montessori Academy

Four Corners Montessori Academy is the sole school in the Four Corners Montessori Academy District, serving grades PK-8 in Madison Heights, Michigan. With a total enrollment of 291 students, the school has a diverse student population, with a majority of White students (63.23%) and significant percentages of African American (18.56%), Asian (5.5%), and students of two or more races (7.9%).

Academically, Four Corners Montessori Academy has a mixed performance compared to state averages, excelling in some areas like 5th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts, but lagging behind in many others, particularly in mathematics. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.1% and a significant percentage of students (43.64%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite spending $11,998 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintaining a student-teacher ratio of 17.1, the school's overall academic performance suggests that it may need to focus on improving its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to better serve its students. As the only school in the Four Corners Montessori Academy District, which is ranked 342 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Four Corners Montessori Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.
