Summary:
Escuela Avancemos is a public charter school serving grades K-8 in Detroit, Michigan, with a total enrollment of 393 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (94.4%), with small percentages of other racial groups.
Based on the available data, Escuela Avancemos does not appear to be a standout school in terms of academic performance. The school consistently performs well below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.25% to 18.6% in various subjects, compared to the state averages of 29.7% to 44%. Additionally, the school's PSAT performance for 8th-grade students is significantly lower than the state average, with only 48.8% proficient in English Language Arts and 14% proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 64.5% and 32.6%, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0%, which may contribute to its poor academic performance.
Escuela Avancemos is ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Michigan, ranking 1377 out of 1486 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's high percentage of students (97.71%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, and its relatively high per-student spending of $13,880 do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. These factors suggest that Escuela Avancemos may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and addressing their academic needs.
