Summary:
East Shore Leadership Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in Port Huron, Michigan. As the only school in this data set, it provides a unique look into the challenges facing this institution, which serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.
With nearly 94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, East Shore Leadership Academy faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education. The school's performance on standardized tests, as measured by the M-STEP and PSAT exams, is generally below the state averages across most grade levels and subject areas. This suggests the school is struggling to effectively support student learning and achievement.
Further compounding the school's challenges is a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, indicating a significant portion of students are missing a substantial amount of instructional time. Despite relatively high spending per student at $14,722, the school's academic outcomes point to potential issues with how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student success. Overall, East Shore Leadership Academy appears to be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education for its students, and a comprehensive review and improvement plan may be necessary to address these issues.
