Additionally, the school's test scores on the M-Step assessments are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby schools.

These performance metrics suggest that Concord Academy Petoskey may be facing unique challenges in supporting student success. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Native American and multi-racial students compared to nearby schools, could present both opportunities and challenges in meeting the needs of its learners. The fluctuations in graduation and dropout rates, as well as the high chronic absenteeism, may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance. Overall, Concord Academy Petoskey appears to be navigating a complex set of circumstances as it strives to provide a quality education to its students.

Not strong academics, way behind what the area public schools are teaching. The school needs to rethink their teaching in tech, math, literacy, writing skills. The kids are way behind. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
