Summary:
Prevail Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Mount Clemens, Michigan. With a total enrollment of 571 students, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high poverty and absenteeism rates, and a fluctuating statewide ranking.
According to the data, Prevail Academy has a district rank of 491 out of 613 in Michigan and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has varied over the past few years, ranging from 965 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,160 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. Student academic performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT test scores, is generally below the state average across various grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and a large majority (92.64%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's low academic performance, Prevail Academy spends $13,498 per student, which is above the state average. The student-teacher ratio is 17.8, slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio. These findings suggest that the school's resource allocation may not be effectively addressing the needs of its high-poverty, high-absenteeism student population, and that additional strategies are needed to improve student outcomes.
