Summary

Gull Lake Virtual Partnership is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Battle Creek, Michigan, with an enrollment of 373 students. This school offers a fully online learning environment for students who prefer a non-traditional educational setting.

One of the key strengths of Gull Lake Virtual Partnership is its consistently higher four-year graduation rates, ranging from 81.7% to 89.4% in recent years, which outperform the state average. Additionally, the school's students demonstrate strong academic performance, outperforming both the state and their local Gull Lake Community Schools district in several key areas, such as 58.33% of 6th-grade students being proficient or better in M-Step/English Language Arts, compared to 49.2% for the district and 38.6% for the state. However, the school does have higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21% to 38.5% in recent years, which may be an area of concern that the school should address.

Compared to some nearby alternative schools, such as Valley Center School and Marshall Academy, Gull Lake Virtual Partnership spends less per student, between $5,901 and $6,577, and has a higher student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 15.9. While these factors may be a result of the school's virtual nature, the school should ensure that they do not negatively impact the quality of education or support provided to students.
