While the schools in this area vary significantly in their academic performance and student demographics, a few standout institutions emerge based on the data.
Grand Traverse Academy, a public charter school serving grades PK-12, stands out with its strong academic performance, high graduation rate, and low chronic absenteeism. Similarly, Old Mission Peninsula School, a public charter elementary school, is a high-performing institution, ranking in the top 10% of Michigan elementary schools.
