Summary:
Global Technical Academy is the sole elementary school located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Despite spending more per student than the state average, this school is significantly underperforming academically, with test scores well below the state benchmarks across all grade levels and subject areas.
With 90.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Global Technical Academy serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 6.3%, which could further hinder student progress.
While Global Technical Academy spends $16,648 per student, which is more than the state average, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Michigan elementary schools over the past few years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the potential need for more targeted or specialized funding to address the school's specific needs and improve student outcomes.
