Summary:
The Detroit Achievement Academy district operates two elementary schools - Detroit Prep and Detroit Achievement Academy. While both serve students in grades K-5, the data shows a significant performance gap between the two schools, with Detroit Prep outperforming its counterpart across a range of academic metrics.
Detroit Prep stands out as the stronger performing school, with higher proficiency rates in most grade levels and subject areas compared to Detroit Achievement Academy and the state average. It also has a higher statewide ranking, a better rating from SchoolDigger, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Detroit Achievement Academy struggles, with proficiency rates lagging significantly behind, particularly in math.
The data also reveals concerning disparities in the student demographics between the two schools. Detroit Prep has a more racially diverse student population, while Detroit Achievement Academy serves a student body that is over 96% African American. This segregation raises questions about educational equity and access within the Detroit Achievement Academy district.
