Summary:
Quest Charter Academy is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Quest Charter Academy district in Taylor, Michigan. With a total enrollment of 693 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate.
Academically, Quest Charter Academy lags behind the state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 18.1% to 30.6%, compared to the state averages of 38.9% to 44.4%. Similarly, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates were between 25.4% and 34.7%, while the state averages were 31.5% to 42.7%. This consistent underperformance suggests the school may face challenges in supporting student learning and academic achievement.
Additionally, Quest Charter Academy has a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high rate of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and contribute to the school's low academic performance. Furthermore, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 84.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $14,036, the school's academic outcomes remain below the state averages, indicating potential concerns with resource allocation and the effectiveness of the school's strategies to support student success.
