Mays Community Academy

Summary:

Mays Community Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the area, with 117 students enrolled. Based on the available data, this school appears to be underperforming compared to other elementary schools in Indiana. With a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 859 out of 1,005 elementary schools in the state, Mays Community Academy is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science all falling well below the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.67% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 24.07% in Math, and 14.29% in Science. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the low academic outcomes.

Further challenges facing Mays Community Academy include a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 55.56% of the student population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 23.4 to 1 and moderate spending per student of $13,454 in 2023-2024 may also be factors impacting the quality of education. Overall, the data suggests that significant improvements and targeted interventions are needed to support student success at this underperforming school.
