Summary:
Knapp Charter Academy is the sole elementary school in the Knapp Charter Academy district, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and has a strong academic performance, ranking in the top third of Michigan elementary schools.
Knapp Charter Academy stands out for its above-average test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies. In the 2024-2025 school year, 51% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 38.9%. The school's 5th grade students also outperformed the state in ELA, Math, and Social Studies. Additionally, the school's 8th grade students achieved a 66.7% proficiency rate in PSAT ELA, surpassing the statewide average of 65.3%.
While the school's math scores are still above the state average, they lag behind its ELA performance, suggesting an area for potential improvement. The school serves a high-need student population, with 81.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1 and above-average spending per student of $16,799 indicate that the school is effectively allocating resources to support student learning.
