Summary:
Dove Academy of Detroit is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Dove Academy of Detroit district, located in Detroit, Michigan. With a student population that is 99.58% African American, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by its consistently low rankings and academic performance.
Dove Academy of Detroit has ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Michigan for the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are less than a quarter of the state averages, and its 8th-grade PSAT scores are also significantly below the state average. Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 39.6%, which is much higher than the state average.
The school's high percentage of students (91.82%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, the resources do not appear to be effectively utilized to address the unique needs of the students. Addressing the persistent low performance and the broader social, economic, and community-based factors that impact student outcomes will likely require a comprehensive, holistic approach to support the success of the students at Dove Academy of Detroit.
