Pansophia Academy

Summary:

Pansophia Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Coldwater, Michigan, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 433 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 74.83% White, 1.15% African American, 21.02% Hispanic, and 3% two or more races.

Pansophia Academy faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has experienced a steep decline in its four-year graduation rates, dropping from 75% in 2018-2019 to just 42.3% in 2022-2023, notably lower than CamdenFrontier K12 School (92.5%) and Will Carleton Charter School Academy (85.7%). Additionally, Pansophia Academy has a high dropout rate, ranging from 15% in 2018-2019 to 26.9% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the nearby schools. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.9% in 2019-2020 to 34.6% in 2018-2019, compared to CamdenFrontier K12 School (26.4%) and Will Carleton Charter School Academy (9.9%).

Pansophia Academy's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is also significantly lower than the state averages and the nearby schools. For example, in 2023-2024, Pansophia Academy's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for grades 3-7 range from 10.71% to 36.4%, compared to the state averages of 32.1% to 44%. The school serves a high-need population, with 88.22% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student outcomes. Pansophia Academy's increased spending per student, from $10,089 in 2020-2021 to $11,906 in 2022-2023, has not translated into improved student outcomes, indicating a need to re-evaluate resource allocation and prioritize strategies that have a direct impact on student success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
