Summary

Island City Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 197 students in grades K-8 in Eaton Rapids, Michigan. The school is part of the Island City Academy District, which is ranked 149 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Island City Academy has shown strong performance in several subject areas compared to the state average, with higher proficiency rates in 3rd grade Math, 6th and 7th grade ELA, 7th grade Math, and 8th grade Science and Social Studies. However, the school's performance in 4th grade ELA and Math, as well as 5th grade Math, has been below the state average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 39.59% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but it ranks in the top 22% of Michigan elementary schools for low-income student performance. Unfortunately, the school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 24.2% to 30.8% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Island City Academy's performance is generally stronger than the Charlotte Public Schools and Potterville Public Schools districts, particularly in Math and Science. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing Mason Public Schools (Ingham) district. Nearby schools, such as Lockwood Elementary and Greyhound Intermediate in the Eaton Rapids Public Schools district, have lower proficiency rates than Island City Academy in most subject areas.
