Innocademy Allegan Campus

Innocademy Allegan Campus is a small public charter school in Fennville, MI, serving 102 students in grades PK through 8, where about three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school offers a notably personal learning environment with a student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1, which is better than many nearby schools—for example, Black River Public School Elementary has a ratio of 19.2:1 and Hamilton Elementary School sits at 16.1:1. However, academic performance has been inconsistent. After reaching its highest state ranking in 2022-2023, the school has since declined to the 32nd percentile statewide. In 4th grade English Language Arts, only 23.5% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 41.3% and much higher rates at schools like Douglas Elementary School (69% proficient). A bright spot is 5th-grade Social Studies, where 36.36% of students were proficient—above the state average of 27.5% and higher than nearby West (30.1%) and Jefferson (12%).

Chronic absenteeism has fluctuated dramatically, from 52.2% in 2021-2022 down to 15.5% in 2024-2025, though this volatility may partly reflect the school's small size, where a handful of students can swing percentages significantly. Per-student spending is $13,332, which is lower than its closest geographic neighbor, Fennville Elementary School ($18,076), and far below schools in the Holland City School District (over $32,000). Both Innocademy and Fennville Elementary serve similarly high-poverty populations, and their test scores are in a comparable range, suggesting shared community challenges rather than school-specific issues. For parents, the key takeaway is that this school offers small classes and a potential strength in social studies, but families should be aware of the academic struggles and inconsistent performance trends.
