Relevant Academy of Eaton County

Summary:

Relevant Academy of Eaton County is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Grand Ledge, Michigan, with an enrollment of 89 students. While the school has faced significant challenges in recent years, including declining performance, resource constraints, and high rates of chronic absenteeism, it continues to serve a student population with significant economic disadvantages.

The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% for the 2023-2024 school year is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies assessments for 11th grade students in 2024-2025 are well below the state averages, at 21.43% and 26.67%, respectively. These academic struggles are likely exacerbated by the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The data also suggests that Relevant Academy of Eaton County faces resource constraints, with a lower spending per student of $9,034 and a higher student-teacher ratio of 19:1 compared to state averages. These factors, combined with the high percentage of students (75.28%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicate that the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the lower academic performance and engagement observed.
