Summary:
Grand Blanc Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the area, with 332 students enrolled. However, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Michigan elementary schools over the past 3 years, indicating it is a persistently low-performing institution.
The school faces significant challenges, with an extremely high free/reduced lunch rate of 95.48% suggesting its student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This correlates with the school's very low academic proficiency rates across subjects and grade levels, which are significantly below state averages. For example, in 2024-2025 the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was just 21.4% compared to the state average of 38.9%.
Other key metrics also point to the need for improvement at Grand Blanc Academy. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and a student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1, both of which are concerning. With such persistent low performance, Grand Blanc Academy appears to be a school in need of significant support and intervention to better serve its students.
