Summary:
George Crockett Academy is the sole elementary school located in this area, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 355 students. The school's student population is predominantly African American, with 99.44% of students identifying as such, and the school has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and relatively small class sizes, George Crockett Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools over the past three school years, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also very high, at 72.9% for the 2022-2023 school year, which likely contributes to the school's poor academic performance.
While the school's higher funding and smaller class sizes suggest a focus on providing resources, the persistent academic underperformance and lack of racial diversity indicate that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the school's challenges. Further investigation into the root causes of these issues and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve outcomes at George Crockett Academy.
