Summary:
Muskegon Montessori Academy for Environmental Change is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 in this area, with 155 students. While the school has adequate resources, including above-average spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been inconsistent and generally below average compared to other Michigan elementary schools.
Muskegon Montessori Academy for Environmental Change has a relatively low statewide ranking, placing between 645-1060 out of 1,470-1,488 Michigan elementary schools over the past 3 school years. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is mixed, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in some grade levels and subjects, but underperforming the state average in most others. Additionally, the school has a concerning high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which likely contributes to its academic challenges.
Despite the school's struggles, it appears to have adequate resources, with above-average spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio. This suggests the school's challenges may be more related to factors outside of resource allocation, such as curriculum, instruction, or school climate. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and inconsistent academic performance should be priorities for the school's leadership and the Muskegon Montessori Academy for Environmental Change district.
