Summary:
Burton Glen Charter Academy is the sole elementary school located in the Burton Glen Charter Academy district in Burton, Michigan. The school serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 697 students.
While Burton Glen Charter Academy faces significant challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and consistently lower test scores compared to the state average, the school's high poverty level, with 96.27% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor. The school's spending per student is $13,519, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 23.2 to 1. However, the school's statewide ranking has been declining, dropping from 1,020 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 991 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025.
Addressing the academic and socioeconomic challenges at Burton Glen Charter Academy will likely require a comprehensive approach that focuses on improving student learning and achievement, as well as addressing the needs of the school's economically disadvantaged student population. The school's high poverty levels and declining statewide ranking suggest that a re-evaluation of resource allocation may be necessary to better support the students and their families.
