High Schools in Great Lakes Learning Academy

The Great Lakes Learning Academy district in Michigan operates two high schools: Great Lakes Learning Academy Middle/High School and Great Lakes Learning Academy Alternative High School. Both schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population and have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan high schools, with low academic performance, high absenteeism, and poor graduation rates.

The Great Lakes Learning Academy Middle/High School serves grades 6-12 and has an enrollment of 682 students. It has a proficiency rate well below the state averages in core subjects, a 4-year graduation rate of just 61.5%, and a high dropout rate of 18.8%. The Great Lakes Learning Academy Alternative High School, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 454 students, performs even worse, with proficiency rates as low as 18.9%, a dismal 4-year graduation rate of 22.8%, and a staggering dropout rate of 37.9%.

The data suggests that the Great Lakes Learning Academy district faces significant challenges in providing quality education to its students. Addressing the systemic issues, such as low academic achievement, high absenteeism, and poor graduation rates, will require a comprehensive and equitable approach that considers the unique needs of each school and student population. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve the educational outcomes for these students.
