Summary:
Star International Academy is the sole elementary school located in the Star International Academy district in Canton, Michigan. The school serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 309 students. As a public charter school, it is part of a district ranked 326 out of 613 in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While there are no clear "standout" schools to identify given the single-school data set, a closer examination of Star International Academy reveals some significant challenges. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is substantially higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels. This is particularly concerning in core subjects like Math and Science, where the school's performance lags behind the state.
Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's struggles, as 89.97% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending of $9,815 and a student-teacher ratio of 18.8 suggest that resource allocation and staffing may also be areas of concern. Overall, the data suggests that Star International Academy faces significant challenges in terms of student attendance, academic performance, and socioeconomic factors, which will need to be addressed to provide a high-quality education for its students.
