Summary:
Oakland Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in Portage, Michigan. Based on the available data, the school appears to have a mixed performance, with some areas of strength but also several challenges that need to be addressed.
One of Oakland Academy's strengths is its performance in early elementary English Language Arts (ELA), with 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates significantly higher than the state average. However, the school struggles in upper elementary Math and Social Studies, with proficiency rates lagging behind the state. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is much higher than the state would likely prefer.
Overall, Oakland Academy is a relatively average-performing school within the state of Michigan, ranking 301 out of 613 districts and receiving a 3 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school has some bright spots, such as its early elementary ELA performance, it also faces challenges in other academic areas and with student attendance. The school may benefit from a closer examination of its practices and strategies to identify opportunities for improvement and better support student learning and achievement.
