Summary:
The Westfield Charter Academy district in Michigan consists of two schools - Westfield Preparatory High School serving grades 7-12 and Westfield Charter Academy serving grades K-6. Both schools serve a predominantly African American student population with very high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating significant demographic challenges.
Academically, the schools in the Westfield Charter Academy district are struggling, with proficiency rates well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Westfield Preparatory High School has a particularly low statewide ranking, placing 705th out of 743 Michigan high schools, and a concerning four-year graduation rate of only 65.2% along with a high dropout rate of 11.1%. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, reaching 81.1% at the high school and 46.6% at the elementary school.
The resource allocation within the district also raises concerns, with Westfield Preparatory High School spending $21,322 per student, while Westfield Charter Academy spends $0 per student. This discrepancy suggests potential inequities in the distribution of resources, which may be contributing to the overall poor academic performance across the district.
