Summary:
The Crossroads Charter Academy in Big Rapids, Michigan operates a single elementary school, Crossroads Charter Academy K5, serving students in grades K-5. With an enrollment of 146 students, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high-need student population.
Crossroads Charter Academy K5 has struggled to meet state proficiency standards, with student scores well below the Michigan averages in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. The school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate is just 17.86% compared to the state average of 38.9%, and its 5th grade Math proficiency is 21.1% versus the state's 32.9%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is alarmingly high, which can further hinder student learning and achievement.
Despite spending $13,355 per student, which is higher than the state average, Crossroads Charter Academy K5 serves a disadvantaged population, with 73.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may need to allocate resources more effectively and implement targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student body and improve overall academic outcomes.
