Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the Washington-Parks Academy district in Michigan: WashingtonParks Academy. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and has a student population of 580, the majority of whom are African American (97.41%) and come from low-income families (97.76% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch).
WashingtonParks Academy has consistently performed poorly on standardized tests, with proficiency rates well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.77% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%. The school's academic performance has been in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools for the past three years, indicating a significant need for improvement.
Additionally, WashingtonParks Academy faces other challenges, such as a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 56.8% and a student-teacher ratio of 29.7, which is higher than the recommended ratio for effective instruction. The school's reported spending of $0 per student also raises concerns, as this figure seems unlikely to be accurate. Overall, the data suggests that the students at WashingtonParks Academy are not receiving the quality education they deserve, and significant interventions may be necessary to address the school's shortcomings and provide a better learning environment for its students.
