Summary:
Gateway To Success Academy is the sole public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Scottville, Michigan. While the school has a diverse student population, it faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and mixed academic performance compared to state averages.
The school's 4-year graduation rate of just 30.9% and dropout rate of 45.2% are major areas of concern, suggesting the school is struggling to support and retain its students. Academically, the school outperforms the state in some grade levels and subjects, but underperforms in 11th grade core subjects and 8th grade English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, higher than the state average, which could be contributing to the low graduation and academic outcomes.
Despite spending $12,706 per student, which is above the state average, and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, Gateway To Success Academy appears to have significant room for improvement in supporting its diverse student population and ensuring all students are prepared for success. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as student engagement, family support, and instructional quality, should be a priority for the Gateway To Success Academy district.
