Summary:
Battle Creek Montessori Academy is the sole elementary school in the Battle Creek Montessori Academy district, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 193 students.
Battle Creek Montessori Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.0%, which could be a contributing factor to its low academic performance. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 79.79% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Further concerns include the school's declining statewide ranking, which has dropped from 856 out of 1,153 Michigan elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,066 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024, and a high student-teacher ratio of 30.1, which may make it more challenging for teachers to provide individualized attention and support to students. Overall, the data suggests that Battle Creek Montessori Academy requires targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education to its students.
