Summary:
The Flex High School of Michigan district operates two public charter high schools, Flex High Burton and Flex High North Flint, both serving grades 9-12. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be struggling, with low academic achievement, high dropout rates, and serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
Neither school stands out as a high performer, with both demonstrating proficiency rates well below the state average in core subjects like science and social studies. Flex High Burton has a dismal 4-year graduation rate of just 1.6%, while Flex High North Flint fares only slightly better at 7.8%. Correspondingly, these schools have alarmingly high dropout rates, with Flex High Burton at 59.0% and Flex High North Flint at 68.4%.
The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, over 90% at both schools, likely contributes to the academic and social challenges faced by these institutions. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, the Flex High School of Michigan district appears to be struggling to effectively allocate resources and support student success. Addressing the root causes of these issues will be crucial for improving outcomes and ensuring the future success of these schools.
