Grand Haven Cyber School

Q: Is Grand Haven Cyber School a good school?

Grand Haven Cyber School ranks 465 th of 743 Michigan alternative schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Grand Haven Cyber School is a small, alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Grand Haven Area Public Schools district, with 113 students enrolled. While the school has a diverse student population, it has faced significant challenges in recent years, particularly in areas of student achievement and engagement.

One of the most concerning metrics is the school's fluctuating graduation rates, which have ranged from 43.4% to 74.3% over the past few years - significantly lower than the state average of around 80% and the graduation rates of nearby virtual schools like ICademy Global (91.8%) and West Ottawa Virtual Academy (100%). Additionally, Grand Haven Cyber School has experienced higher dropout rates, ranging from 4.1% to 13%, compared to the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Innocademy (2.7%) and ICademy Global (2.7%).

Another area of concern is the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 62.6% to 81.5% over the past five years - significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Innocademy (26.1%) and ICademy Global (53.1%). The school's test scores on the M-Step and SAT assessments are also generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 27.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, compared to 66.4% in the Grand Haven Area Public Schools district and 51.3% statewide.

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.
