East Chicago Urban Enterprise Academy


Summary:

East Chicago Urban Enterprise Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the East Chicago, Indiana area. This school faces significant challenges, with low academic performance, high poverty levels, and high chronic absenteeism rates among its diverse student population.

The school's East Chicago Urban Enterprise Academy ILEARN test scores are well below state averages, with only 30.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 27.76% in Math, and 17.44% in Science. With over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which likely contributes to these academic challenges. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5% is quite high, indicating that a significant portion of the student body is missing a substantial amount of instructional time.

Despite the school's struggles, it does have a racially diverse student population, with 40.66% African American and 56.5% Hispanic students. The school also spends a relatively high $12,007 per student, suggesting that it may have access to adequate resources. However, the low academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. East Chicago Urban Enterprise Academy will need to implement comprehensive strategies to support student learning and address the unique needs of its diverse, high-poverty student body.
