Summary

Star International Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Canton, Michigan, with 309 students. The school is part of the Star International Academy District, which is ranked 326 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Star International Academy is struggling, with consistently lower proficiency rates on M-Step and PSAT tests compared to state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 28.9%, compared to the state average of 38.9%, and its 7th grade Math proficiency rate was 38.3%, compared to the state average of 33.3%. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students and English Language Learners, is also below state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Dodson Elementary and Achieve Charter Academy, Star International Academy is underperforming academically. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be contributing factors to its academic struggles. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the school's long-term success and the success of its students.
