Triumph Academy

Triumph Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in Monroe, Michigan, with a total enrollment of 777 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (72.59%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (9.91%), two or more races (12.87%), African American (3.22%), Asian (0.77%), and Native American (0.64%) students.

Triumph Academy appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the state of Michigan. The school's proficiency rates on the M-Step (Michigan's state assessment) are generally higher than the statewide averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) across multiple grade levels. Additionally, the school's PSAT performance in 8th grade is noteworthy, with 72.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 49.2% in Mathematics, both exceeding the state averages. Triumph Academy is ranked in the top third of Michigan elementary schools and has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, indicating above-average performance.

However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.3% for the 2022-2023 school year is an area for potential improvement. Additionally, while the school's proficiency rates in ELA and Science are strong, its performance in Social Studies is more mixed, with 8th-grade students lagging behind the state average. The school's high percentage of students (63.32%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that it serves a population with significant economic challenges, which is an important context to consider when evaluating the school's performance and the resources needed to support student success.
