State Street Academy

Summary:

State Street Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Bay City, Michigan, serving grades PK-10 with a total enrollment of 258 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 75.97% White, 6.2% African American, 8.53% Hispanic, and 9.3% two or more races.

State Street Academy faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35% to 66.2% over the past 5 years, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the state averages and nearby schools. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates for grades 4-7 ranged from 11.54% to 42.1%, compared to state averages of 32.1% to 44%. Additionally, State Street Academy has a very high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.44% to 91.26% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at State Street Academy, ranging from $8,780 to $12,233 over the past 4 years, the school's academic performance remains below state averages. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. The challenges faced by State Street Academy appear to be common among alternative schools in the region, as Francis Reh PSA and the Juvenile Justice Center also have high chronic absenteeism, low academic proficiency, and high free and reduced lunch rates.

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.
