Summary:
The Crescent Academy district in Michigan is home to two elementary schools: Crescent Academy Elementary and Crescent Academy PK1. Both schools serve students in elementary grades and face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
Based on the available data, neither school stands out as a high-performing institution. Crescent Academy Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Michigan elementary schools over the past three years, with proficiency rates well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Crescent Academy PK1, on the other hand, does not have any statewide ranking data available, suggesting it may also be struggling to meet academic standards.
Both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating high levels of poverty in the district. This is likely a contributing factor to the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates observed in both schools. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the schools have not shown any significant improvement in their performance over time, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes in the Crescent Academy district.
