Escuela Avancemos


Summary:

Escuela Avancemos is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Detroit, Michigan, with a total enrollment of 393 students. The school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments and a predominantly low-income, Hispanic student population.

Escuela Avancemos struggles academically, with proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies well below the Michigan state averages across multiple grade levels. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0%, which likely contributes to its poor academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income community, with 97.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Escuela Avancemos spends $13,880 per student, which is higher than the state average, this investment does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's racial makeup is also a concern, with 94.4% of students identifying as Hispanic and only small percentages of White and African American students, raising questions about equity and access to quality education for all students in the community.
