Summary:
Great Oaks Academy is the sole elementary school located in Warren, Michigan, serving students in grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 744 students. This public charter school stands out for its highly diverse student population, with 84.27% African American, 5.65% Asian, and 7.53% two or more races, providing a unique multicultural learning environment.
Academically, Great Oaks Academy has a mixed performance, with some bright spots, such as 6th and 7th-grade students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts proficiency, and 8th-grade students performing well on the PSAT. However, the school's overall performance in Math and Science falls below the state average. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.8%, significantly exceeding the state average, is a significant concern that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
Serving a population with high economic disadvantage, as indicated by 92.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Great Oaks Academy spends $12,519 per student, which is above the state average. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism and providing targeted support for students facing socioeconomic challenges could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes and experiences of the students at this school.
