Merritt Academy

Summary:

Merritt Academy is a public charter school located in New Haven, Michigan that serves 551 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and students of two or more races.

Merritt Academy stands out for its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.3% to 97.9% over the past five school years, significantly higher than the state average and many of the nearby alternative schools like Woodland Developmental Center and Bozymowski Center. While the school's dropout rates have fluctuated, they are generally lower than those of the nearby alternative schools. However, Merritt Academy has experienced varying levels of chronic absenteeism, from a low of 16.7% to a high of 40.7%, which is an area of concern that the school may want to address.

Academically, Merritt Academy's test scores on the M-Step and SAT assessments are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, though the school's Math scores tend to be closer to or slightly below the state averages. The school's higher spending per student, ranging from $10,150 in 2019-2020 to $14,039 in 2022-2023, may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to the nearby alternative schools. Overall, Merritt Academy appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, but the school's chronic absenteeism rates and the need to maintain its academic performance are areas that warrant continued attention and improvement.

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.

The firemans kids go here. The village administration loves it. The kids I see that go here are respectful citizens and I am proud to live walking distance to such a great pillar of the community. People come from all over St Clair and Macomb counties to use this school. It is in a very safe family environment and neighborhood. Walkable, more side walks coming. Lots of events and activities. It really does take a village and the Village of New Haven is proud of its students and their accomplishments!!! Close Quote

The school has gone to pot since the new principal took over last year. They got rid of good teachers and kept bad teachers, the PTO disbanded, the school lunches are cold and disgusting, the principal doesn't get back to you when you leave messages (some teachers don't either)... They advertise this peer mentor program they started as some great program but what it is is just having classmates help special ed kids instead of the teacher doing it (at the expense of the general ed kid's learning time). The letters that come home from school almost always have spelling and grammar errors in them. Close Quote

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.
