Summary:
The Oakland International Academy district in Michigan operates two elementary schools: Oakland International Academy Elementary (grades 2-5) and Oakland International Academy K1 (grades PK-1). While the schools serve different grade levels, they face some common challenges, including high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism among their student populations.
Oakland International Academy Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.9%) compared to the state average, while Oakland International Academy K1 has a more diverse student body (88.99% white, 9.17% African American, 0.92% Hispanic, 0.92% Asian). Both schools have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with Oakland International Academy Elementary at 97.63% and Oakland International Academy K1 at 100%. This suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the students. Additionally, the chronic absenteeism rates are quite high, with Oakland International Academy Elementary at 11.3% and Oakland International Academy K1 at 23.5%, well above the state average.
Academically, Oakland International Academy Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates on the M-Step assessments significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate is 24.5% compared to the state average of 39.6%. In contrast, Oakland International Academy K1 does not have any test score data available, as it only serves grades PK-1. The funding and resources also vary between the two schools, with Oakland International Academy Elementary spending $15,692 per student, higher than the state average, while Oakland International Academy K1 spends $8,406 per student, lower than the state average.
