Summary:

CarneyNadeau Public School is an alternative public school located in Carney, Michigan, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 232 students. The school has a diverse racial makeup, with over 90% White students, and faces some unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

While CarneyNadeau Public School has had relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 79.3% to 100% over the past five years, which is higher than Uplift Michigan Academy at 70%, the school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 15.2% in 2018-2019 to 44.4% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the 22.6% rate at Stephenson Area Public School. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state and nearby school averages, and it has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.57% to 67.76% over the past three years, which is higher than the 52.94% rate at Stephenson Area Public School.

CarneyNadeau Public School's unique characteristics include a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.2 to 14.4 over the past three years, which is lower than the 28 student-teacher ratio at Uplift Michigan Academy. The school also has a higher percentage of White students compared to the more diverse student population at Uplift Michigan Academy. These findings suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the increasing chronic absenteeism and lower test scores, while also considering the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student outcomes.

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.
