How Eagles Nest Academy compares with Michigan and U.S. medians
What stands out at Eagles Nest Academy
Eagles Nest Academy is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter elementary school in Flint, Michigan, enrolling 154 students.
Class loads run heavy: 51.3:1 is larger than about 99% of Michigan schools and 193% above the 17.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 93.7% of students qualify for free meals, 73% above the Michigan average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 154 puts it in the smaller third of Michigan schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 3,375 Michigan schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 136 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Michigan schools statewide, it ranks #128, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly African American (97% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 5/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 79.9% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 32.6% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
The federal civil-rights collection also records 1 expulsion at this campus for 2021-22.
Among Flint's elementary schools, it stands alongside Dye Elementary School (559 students): Eagles Nest Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (51.3:1 vs 18:1).
Eagle's Nest Academy is a single-school charter district, so Eagles Nest Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
