Michigan Great Lakes Virtual Academy

Summary:

Michigan Great Lakes Virtual Academy is a public charter virtual school serving grades PK-12 in Manistee, Michigan, with a diverse student population. While the school has seen some improvements in recent years, it continues to face significant challenges, including low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and poor academic performance compared to state averages.

The school's four-year graduation rate has increased from 45.6% in 2018-2019 to 58.0% in 2022-2023, but this is still well below the state average of around 80%. Dropout rates have ranged from 21.4% to 30.6% over the past five years, which is much higher than the state average. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with rates ranging from 23.4% to 39.7% in recent years. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 12.4% to 20.9% in 2023-2024, compared to state averages of 37.5% to 44%.

Comparing Michigan Great Lakes Virtual Academy to nearby schools, such as Developmental ClassroomsWSESD and Onekama Consolidated Schools, highlights the significant differences in student populations and performance profiles. For example, Onekama Consolidated Schools has much higher graduation rates (92.0%) and academic proficiency rates (up to 76.2% in Math) than the virtual academy. Despite the school's increased per-student spending, from $8,388 in 2019-2020 to $11,154 in 2022-2023, and a focus on providing more individualized attention through a lower student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes have not yet reflected these investments.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
