Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 56.7%, which likely impacts student learning and academic achievement.
The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 100% indicates that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,156 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, the data suggests that resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to improve student outcomes. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance and challenges faced by Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy, and significant interventions and support may be needed to improve educational outcomes for its students.
