Crossroads Charter Academy

Crossroads Charter Academy is an active independent public charter school district situated at 215 West Spruce Street in Big Rapids, Michigan. Nestled within a remote town setting, the district serves its surrounding community by operating two dedicated school facilities that offer a complete educational continuum from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Functioning as its own local educational agency for federal programs, the academy provides families with an accessible, community-focused alternative to traditional public school systems, maintaining direct oversight of its academic pathways and district operations, which are detailed further at their official portal (ccabr.org).

With a total enrollment of 220 students spanning elementary, middle, and high school grade levels, the academy offers a highly personalized learning environment. The district's educational program is bolstered by a strong staffing context, employing approximately 39.4 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers, 2.73 instructional aides, and nearly 33 support staff members, bringing total district personnel to nearly 75 FTE positions. This low student-to-educator ratio ensures small class sizes and focused instruction for a diverse student body—comprising 115 male and 105 female scholars—fostering an inclusive atmosphere where individual academic and developmental needs are prioritized.
