Summary:
Timberland Academy is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Timberland Academy district, with 678 students enrolled. Based on the available data, Timberland Academy appears to be a low-performing school, ranking 1248 out of 1488 Michigan elementary schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Timberland Academy's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate is 23.9% compared to the state average of 38.9%. The school's PSAT performance is also well below the state average, with only 34.6% of 8th graders proficient in ELA and 13.5% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 65.3% and 30.4%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is much higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,956 and a student-teacher ratio of 18.8, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. This suggests that Timberland Academy may be facing challenges in effectively utilizing its resources or implementing effective instructional strategies to support the learning needs of its high-poverty student population, with 97.64% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
