Summary:
Paragon Charter Academy is the sole elementary school in the Paragon Charter Academy district, serving grades K-8 in Jackson, Michigan. With a total enrollment of 604 students, the school has a mixed academic performance, with some areas of strength but also challenges in improving overall outcomes.
Paragon Charter Academy has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 654 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools. While the school performs above the state average in 7th grade English Language Arts, 3rd-7th grade Math, and 8th grade Science and Social Studies, it struggles in other areas, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 68.87% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively high spending of $12,335 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 16.8 to 1, Paragon Charter Academy's overall performance suggests the need for targeted interventions to address attendance issues and improve student learning across all grade levels and subjects. With a focus on addressing these areas of concern, the school may be able to better support its students and achieve stronger educational outcomes.
