Summary

Bay City Academy Farragut Campus is an alternative public charter school serving 363 students in grades PK-12 in Bay City, Michigan. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.66% to 86.78% over the past few years, and has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $8,314 in 2020-2021 to $12,150 in 2023-2024.

Despite the increased funding, Bay City Academy Farragut Campus faces significant challenges. The school has seen fluctuating four-year graduation rates, ranging from 65.2% to 86.2% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average of around 80%. Additionally, the school has had high dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 21.7% in recent years, much higher than the state average. The school also experiences high chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 29.5% to 54.9% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. The school's test scores on M-Step, SAT, and PSAT assessments are consistently lower than the state and district averages across various grade levels and subject areas.

Interestingly, the nearby alternative schools, such as Michael J McGivney, Juvenile Justice Center, and Saginaw County Juvenile Center, also serve similar student populations and face similar challenges in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that these schools, including Bay City Academy Farragut Campus, may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of their student populations and improve student outcomes.
