Frontier International Academy

The Frontier International Academy district in Michigan consists of two schools: Frontier International Academy, an alternative school, and Frontier International Academy Elementary, an elementary school. While the district-level school lags behind in several key metrics, the elementary school is a standout performer, consistently outranking the district and state averages in areas such as test scores, chronic absenteeism, and statewide rankings.

Frontier International Academy Elementary has a significantly higher proficiency rate in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, and M-Step/Science compared to the district-level school and the state of Michigan. The elementary school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a higher statewide ranking, placing 366th out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools and receiving a 4-star rating. These strong academic results may be attributed to the school's lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the district-level school.

In contrast, Frontier International Academy, the district-level alternative school, has a lower four-year graduation rate and a higher dropout rate. The student demographics also differ, with Frontier International Academy Elementary having a much more diverse student body, with a higher percentage of Asian students compared to the district-level school. These findings highlight the importance of analyzing data at the individual school level to uncover meaningful insights and identify areas for improvement within the Frontier International Academy district.
