Summary:
The MadisonCarver Academy, the sole elementary school in the Madison-Carver Academy district in Detroit, Michigan, serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 421 students. Despite the school's high per-student funding and small class sizes, its academic performance is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates as low as 19.6% in 4th-grade English Language Arts.
The school's student body is predominantly African American (97.39%), and 100% of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 41.9%, which likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes. These challenges suggest that MadisonCarver Academy is struggling to provide a quality education to its students and may be facing significant social and economic barriers within the community it serves.
Overall, the data on MadisonCarver Academy highlights the persistent educational inequities that exist in many underserved communities. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that addresses not only academic performance but also the broader social and economic factors that influence student success.
