Summary:
The city of Eastpointe, Michigan is home to a school district that serves a predominantly African American student population, with 8 schools including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. However, the data reveals a concerning trend of consistently low academic performance across the district, with most schools ranking in the bottom 10-15% statewide.
The standout schools in Eastpointe include Eaton Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school with the highest percentage of African American students at 99.7% and the lowest statewide ranking, and Eastpointe High School, which has the lowest statewide ranking, the highest dropout rate at 19.3%, and the lowest test scores, with only 10-15% of students proficient in core subjects. Additionally, Eastpointe Virtual Academy stands out with a relatively low student-teacher ratio but a lower graduation rate of 67.8% compared to the traditional high school.
The data paints a picture of a school district that is struggling academically, with persistent racial disparities and potential resource allocation issues. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Eastpointe Community Schools and Eaton Academy districts.
