Summary

Academy 21 is an alternative public magnet virtual school located in Warren, Michigan, serving grades 2-12 with a total enrollment of 174 students. It is part of the Center Line Public Schools district, which is ranked 503 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Academy 21 has seen some positive trends, such as a decrease in student-teacher ratio and an increase in spending per student, the school faces several challenges. Its four-year graduation rates have ranged from 57.8% to 82.8%, which is lower than the state average of around 80%. Additionally, the school has had dropout rates ranging from 7.6% to 15.7%, which are higher than the state average. Chronic absenteeism has also been a concern, with rates ranging from 8.7% to 43%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Academy 21's test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels.

When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Detroit International Academy for Young Women, Bozymowski Center, and Turning Point Academy, Academy 21 generally performs similarly in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism. However, its test scores are often lower than these nearby schools. The high rates of economic disadvantage among Academy 21's student population, with 74.11% to 80.46% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance.
