Summary:
The Richfield Public School Academy district in Michigan has only one elementary school, the Richfield Public School Academy Early Learning Center PK2, which serves grades PK-2 with an enrollment of 215 students. This school faces significant challenges, with a predominantly African American student population (66.51%), a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.1%, and an extremely high percentage of students (93.49%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
The school's spending per student, at $8,069, is below the state average for elementary schools, and the student-teacher ratio of 20.3 is slightly higher than the recommended ratio for early elementary grades. These factors suggest that the school may be facing resource and staffing challenges that could impact the quality of education and student outcomes. The high chronic absenteeism rate also points to the need for targeted interventions and support systems to address the underlying factors contributing to student absences, such as transportation, health, or family challenges.
Overall, the data for the Richfield Public School Academy Early Learning Center PK2 highlights the significant inequities and challenges faced by this school and the community it serves. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach that addresses both the academic and non-academic needs of the students and their families.
