District-Level NCES Analysis
Eagle's Nest Academy operates 1 public schools serving 158 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Genesee County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,767 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 1.1% local, 66.3% state, and 32.6% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles.
and 79.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 97.4% African American across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Eagles Nest Academy, enrolling 154 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Eagles Nest Academy accounts for 97.5% of all Eagle's Nest Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Eagle's Nest Academy a distant remainder — means Eagle's Nest Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Eagle's Nest Academy has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 93.7% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Eligibility here is a supermajority of the population — well past the 75% concentration-grant threshold that unlocks extra funding on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Eagle's Nest Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 79.9% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
