Summary

Quest Charter Academy is an elementary school located in Taylor, Michigan, serving 693 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Quest Charter Academy District, which is ranked 415 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Quest Charter Academy faces several significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 38.7% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools like Long Elementary School and Nowlin Elementary School. Academically, Quest Charter Academy's performance on M-Step and PSAT tests is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points lower than the state.

Additionally, Quest Charter Academy has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.7% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Despite spending more per student ($14,036 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain below par, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and spending priorities to better support student success.
