Summary

Michigan Cyber Academy is a virtual high school in Hazel Park, MI, serving 328 students in grades 9-12 within the Hazel Park School District of the City of, an area where the district itself ranks in the bottom 10% of Michigan districts.

The most critical concern for parents is the school's graduation crisis. Only 15.2% of students graduated in 2024-2025—roughly five to six times lower than the state average of 84%—and this rate has stayed below 18% for five straight years. Meanwhile, the dropout rate has more than doubled since 2021, reaching 48.3% in 2024-2025, nearly seven times the state average. The school also operates with an extreme student-teacher ratio of 206:1, meaning minimal direct instruction. This stands in stark contrast to Viking Virtual Academy, a nearby virtual program in the same district that boasts an 80.7% graduation rate and a 3.8% dropout rate with a far more reasonable 35:1 student-teacher ratio. Even Fitzgerald Virtual Academy, about 1.7 miles away, achieves a 55.3% graduation rate.

Paradoxically, the students who remain enrolled perform well on some tests. In 2025-2026, 56% scored proficient on SAT reading and writing—exceeding the state average—yet only 7.89% were proficient in PSAT math, compared to 31.5% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is a likely root cause, with a reported 74.6% rate in 2021-2022. The school spends about $11,937 per student, far less than nearby Hazel Park High School ($20,570) or Pershing High School ($22,805), yet outcomes remain poor. While the school's state ranking improved to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026, this reflects the strong test scores of a small group of survivors, not overall student success. Parents should carefully weigh whether this virtual option can provide the support their child needs to actually graduate.
