Summary:
West Village Academy is the sole elementary school located in the West Village Academy district in Dearborn, Michigan. This school serves students from grades K-8 and faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with significant socioeconomic disadvantages.
West Village Academy has a student population that is predominantly African American (89.69%) and a very high percentage of students (79.04%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently well below the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.64% to 40.4% on the M-STEP and 9.09% to 32% on the PSAT. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 47.2%, which can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $12,066, West Village Academy has maintained a low SchoolDigger rating of 1 out of 5 stars over the past three school years, suggesting that the school has not been able to effectively address its performance issues. Addressing the challenges faced by this school will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
