GEE Compass Academy

Summary:

GEE Compass Academy is an alternative public charter school in Ypsilanti, Michigan, serving students in grades K-12 with a diverse student population. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly lower than the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates well below the state benchmarks.

Compared to nearby alternative schools like Dexter Alternative School, which has a 100% four-year graduation rate, GEE Compass Academy's graduation rate is not provided, suggesting potential challenges in student outcomes. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio is not available, making it difficult to assess the level of individualized attention and support available to students. The school's free and reduced lunch rate, an indicator of the socioeconomic status of the student population, is also not reported, further limiting the understanding of the unique needs and challenges faced by the school's diverse learners.

While the specific context and mission of GEE Compass Academy may contribute to these differences, the data suggests opportunities for improvement and further investigation into the factors influencing student outcomes at the school. Nearby schools, such as the Washtenaw Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program and LocalBased SpecEd Programs, appear to offer specialized services for students with specific educational needs, which could indicate that GEE Compass Academy also serves a population with unique learning requirements, potentially impacting its academic performance compared to more traditional schools.

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.
