Summary:
Burton Glen Charter Academy is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Burton, Michigan area. With a total enrollment of 715 students, the school faces significant challenges in academic performance, attendance, and serving a predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population.
Academically, Burton Glen Charter Academy consistently underperforms the state averages in proficiency across multiple subjects and grade levels, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The school's PSAT performance in 8th grade is also well below state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 53.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $13,201, which exceeds the state average, the academic challenges persist. This suggests that the school may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore ways to optimize the use of available funds to support student learning. Addressing the unique needs and barriers faced by the predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population at Burton Glen Charter Academy will likely be crucial for improving outcomes and driving meaningful progress.
