Summary:
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. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the overall Frontier International Academy district has a 2-star rating, the elementary school stands out with a 4-star rating, indicating stronger academic performance. Frontier International Academy Elementary outperforms the district and the state of Michigan in several key test score metrics, including English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher graduation rate and lower dropout rate compared to the alternative high school.
Despite the investment of resources, with both schools spending over $11,000 per student and maintaining relatively low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance across the district remains a concern, particularly in the area of chronic absenteeism, which stands at 29.5% for both schools. The data suggests that Frontier International Academy Elementary is the stronger-performing school within the district, but the district as a whole faces challenges in improving student outcomes and addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism.
