Grand Rapids University Preparatory Academy

Summary:

Grand Rapids University Preparatory Academy is a public magnet high school serving grades 6-12 in the diverse city of Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

The school stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 96.9% to 100% over the past five years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school faces challenges, with lower test scores compared to the district and state, and a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 19.1% in 2019-2020 to 51.4% in 2022-2023. When compared to nearby schools in the Grand Rapids Public Schools district, Grand Rapids University Preparatory Academy generally performs worse on metrics like test scores and school rankings, but outperforms some in areas like graduation and dropout rates.

The school's diverse student population and high poverty levels, with 83.05% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may contribute to the challenges it faces. Addressing the racial and socioeconomic disparities, as well as the chronic absenteeism issue, could be key focus areas for the school and district to improve student outcomes. Despite these challenges, the school is providing valuable educational opportunities for its students, as evidenced by its strong graduation and low dropout rates.

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.
