As part of the Great Lakes Learning Academy district, which is ranked 548 out of 610 districts in the state, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and extremely high chronic absenteeism.

Over the past five years, Blended Learning Academies Credit Recovery High School has struggled with graduation rates ranging from just 19.1% to 53.4%, which is significantly lower than nearby schools like Waverly Senior High School (89.0%), East Lansing High School (88.7%), and DeWitt High School (96.3%). The school's dropout rates, ranging from 6.9% to 25.5%, are also much higher than the nearby schools.

Academically, the school's test scores are consistently lower than state and nearby school averages.

The school's small size, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and the challenges associated with credit recovery programs likely contribute to its poor performance, which is in stark contrast to the stronger academic outcomes of larger, better-resourced schools in the area.

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.
