Summary:
The Mission Academy District consists of a single school, Mission Academy, a unique comprehensive school serving students in grades 6 through 12 in a high-needs community.
Mission Academy presents a complex picture, showing significant academic improvement in its statewide ranking over the past year while facing serious challenges with student attendance and completion. Test scores in core subjects like English and math remain below state averages, though performance varies considerably by grade level, with middle school students, particularly 8th graders, struggling the most and high school students showing relative strength, especially in 12th-grade science.
The most critical issues for the school are its very low graduation rate and extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism and student dropouts, which indicate major barriers to student engagement and success. For parents, this means the school is showing promising academic progress for students who remain consistently enrolled, but addressing the underlying causes of poor attendance is essential for improving overall student outcomes.
