Madison Academy High School

Summary:

Madison Academy High School is a public charter high school located in Burton, Michigan, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 241 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 14.11% White, 78.01% African American, and 3.73% Hispanic.

Despite its diverse student body, Madison Academy High School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 87.1% to 94.2%, while the dropout rate has been as high as 12.8%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, reaching as much as 69.8% in recent years. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state averages, with only 15.7% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies, compared to the state averages of 37.5% and 39.6%, respectively.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Bentley Senior High School, Madison Academy High School generally performs worse on key metrics like graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and academic performance. However, the school's ranking for African American students is higher than its overall ranking, suggesting that it may be providing some support or opportunities for this subgroup. Despite these efforts, the school's overall data indicates that it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, which may be exacerbated by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (89.21%) it serves.

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.
