Summary:
The Voyageur Academy district in Michigan operates two schools: Voyageur Academy, an elementary school, and Voyageur College Prep, a high school. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with extremely high free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 97%.
Based on the available data, neither Voyageur Academy nor Voyageur College Prep appear to be standout schools. Both institutions have very low statewide rankings, with Voyageur Academy ranked in the bottom 5% of Michigan elementary schools and Voyageur College Prep ranked in the bottom 2% of Michigan high schools. Additionally, both schools struggle with extremely low proficiency rates on state assessments, well below the state averages. Chronic absenteeism rates at both schools are also very high, reaching 29.5%, significantly higher than the state average.
While Voyageur Academy spends significantly more per student ($18,322) compared to Voyageur College Prep ($4,960), the district faces systemic challenges in serving its high-poverty student population. The data suggests an imbalance in resource allocation within the district, and the consistently low performance across multiple metrics indicates the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues hindering student success in the Voyageur Academy district.
