State Street Academy

State Street Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Bay City, Michigan, serving grades PK-10 with a total enrollment of 259 students. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.33% to 100% over the past few years, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio.

State Street Academy faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.5% to 56.3% over the past few years, significantly lower academic performance compared to state averages, and relatively high spending per student ranging from $8,780 to $12,233. When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Francis Reh PSA, State Street Academy's performance lags behind, with lower academic proficiency and higher chronic absenteeism.

While the data does not provide specific graduation and dropout rates for State Street Academy, the nearby alternative schools, such as Michael J McGivney, Saginaw County Juvenile Center, Juvenile Justice Center, and Saginaw Independent School District (Isd) Transitions Center, have relatively high graduation rates (82.8%) and low dropout rates (7.6%) compared to the state averages. This suggests that State Street Academy may need to review its strategies, resource allocation, and interventions to address the challenges it faces and improve student attendance and academic outcomes.
