Summary

CarneyNadeau Public School is an alternative public magnet school serving grades PK-12 in Carney, Michigan, with 234 students and a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 64.96% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While CarneyNadeau Public School has had relatively low four-year graduation rates ranging from 45.1% to 88.2%, significantly lower than the state average, and test scores below state averages across various grade levels and subject areas, the school's higher-than-average spending per student, ranging from $11,482 to $15,268, may provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support programs to address these challenges. Nearby schools, such as Uplift Michigan Academy, Stephenson Area Public School, Nah Tah Wahsh Public School Academy, and Hannahville Indian School, also serve high-needs populations and generally have similar or lower performance metrics compared to CarneyNadeau Public School.

Despite the challenges, the school's status as an alternative public magnet school may provide opportunities for innovative approaches to education and student support. The higher-than-average spending per student could potentially be leveraged to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the school's areas of concern, such as the high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.5% to 34.2%, which are significantly higher than the state average.

I love my school and if I were told I had to stop going there, whatever the reason, then my education would stop in whatever grade that I was in because I refuse to attend any other school than the school my family has attended all our lives. GO WOLES!!!!!!! Close Quote
