Madison Academy ElementaryMiddle School

Summary:

Madison Academy ElementaryMiddle School is a public charter school serving 298 students in grades K-8 in Flint, Michigan, a city that has faced significant economic and social challenges. The school is part of the Madison Academy district, which is ranked 550 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison Academy has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (66.11%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 9.27% to 60.37% African American students. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 29.5% over the past several years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Reid Elementary School and Anderson Elementary School, which have much lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Madison Academy's test scores are consistently lower than the state and nearby school averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 10% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to the state averages of 39.6% and 43.4%, respectively.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($26,044 in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, which range from $11,928 to $17,361 per student, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.4, Madison Academy's academic performance does not seem to reflect these resources. This suggests that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of its student population, which is predominantly African American and from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 96.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

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.
