International Academy of Flint K12

Summary:

International Academy of Flint K12 is a public charter school serving 890 students in grades K-12 in the predominantly African American and low-income community of Flint, Michigan.

Despite the school's significant resources, with per-student spending increasing from $8,522 to $12,181 over the past few years, International Academy of Flint K12 consistently underperforms the state averages across various standardized tests, with only 14.1% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 39.6%. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 76.3% and 84.2%, lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 2.9% to 9.5%, higher than the state. Additionally, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 63% in the 2021-2022 school year, well above the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Perry Learning Center and Flint Cultural Center Academy, International Academy of Flint K12 underperforms in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and attendance, despite serving a similar low-income student population. This suggests that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with the state and nearby schools.

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.
