Bay City Academy Farragut Campus

Summary:

Bay City Academy Farragut Campus is an alternative public charter school serving grades PK-12 in the diverse community of Bay City, Michigan. With a student population that is 67.16% White, 6.45% African American, 9.09% Hispanic, and 16.42% two or more races, the school has faced challenges in supporting student success, as evidenced by its fluctuating graduation rates and relatively high dropout rate.

One of the key issues facing Bay City Academy Farragut Campus is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35.4% in 2020-2021 to 60.2% in 2021-2022 - significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Michael J McGivney, Juvenile Justice Center, and Saginaw County Juvenile Center. This high chronic absenteeism likely contributes to the school's lower test scores, which are below the state and Saginaw Independent School District (Isd) averages across multiple grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.91% to 85.92%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools.

While Bay City Academy Farragut Campus appears to have better graduation and dropout rates compared to some other alternative schools in the area, the school still faces significant challenges in supporting student success. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, improving test scores, and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students, regardless of their racial or socioeconomic background, will be crucial for the school to better serve its diverse student population and prepare them for future success.

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.
