Summary:
Detroit Enterprise Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Detroit, Michigan area. With an enrollment of 746 students, the school faces significant challenges in academic achievement and student engagement compared to state averages.
The school has a highly disproportionate racial makeup, with 92.23% of students being African American, which is much higher than the state average. Academically, Detroit Enterprise Academy struggles, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and Science consistently falling below state benchmarks. Of particular concern is the school's extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 52.0%, which is likely a major contributor to the low academic performance.
Despite spending $12,877 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.1 to 1, suggesting a need to re-evaluate resource allocation and staffing. Overall, the data indicates that Detroit Enterprise Academy faces significant challenges in providing equitable access to quality education for its students, and addressing issues like chronic absenteeism, academic underperformance, and resource distribution should be top priorities for the school and the Detroit Enterprise Academy district.
