Summary:
The Riverside Academy district in Michigan contains only one high school, Riverside Academy West Campus, which serves grades 6-12. This public charter school is performing well below average compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 683 out of 739 Michigan high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Riverside Academy West Campus struggles across several key metrics, including a 82.8% four-year graduation rate, a 7.6% dropout rate, and a concerning 29.5% chronic absenteeism rate - all of which are significantly worse than state averages. The school's test scores on M-Step, SAT, and PSAT assessments are consistently well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, 100% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.
Despite higher-than-average spending of $13,967 per student, Riverside Academy West Campus is underperforming, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Addressing the underlying issues, such as high poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low academic achievement, will be crucial for the school to provide a quality education for its students and improve its overall performance.
