Michigan International Prep School

Summary:

Michigan International Prep School is a public charter virtual school located in Elsie, Michigan, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 1,206 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of White students and significant representation from other racial groups.

While the school has seen a steady increase in its four-year graduation rate, from 34.3% in 2018-2019 to 51.3% in 2022-2023, this rate is still significantly lower than the state average of around 80%. The school has also experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 10.2% in 2019-2020 to 21.7% in 2022-2023, which are much higher than the state average. Michigan International Prep School's test scores on the M-Step and SAT assessments are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 23.7% to 36%, compared to the state's 37.5% to 44%, and in Mathematics, ranging from 11.9% to 16%, compared to the state's 31% to 32.6%. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.7% to 61.99% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Shiawassee Regional Educational Service District Student Learning Center West and Clinton County Education Center also serve alternative student populations and have similar challenges, such as low graduation rates and high dropout rates. The school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.8% to 34.2% in the past two years, likely contribute to the school's low academic performance and high dropout rates. However, the school's student-teacher ratio has improved from 37.2 in 2020-2021 to 25.9 in 2022-2023, which may help to provide more individualized attention and support for students.

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.
