Dr Joseph F Pollack Academic Center of Excellence

Summary:

Dr Joseph F Pollack Academic Center of Excellence is a public magnet charter elementary school serving 561 students in grades K-8 in Southfield, Michigan, a city that is part of the Southfield Public School District. Despite high per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this school consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Michigan elementary schools, with very low proficiency rates in core academic subjects.

The school has a very high percentage of African American students, ranging from 97.68% to 98.7% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Pepper Elementary School, Oak Park Service Learning Academy, and Laurus Academy. While the school's African American students perform better than the overall student body, they still lag behind the state average for African American students, suggesting factors beyond just race may be contributing to the school's low performance.

The school also faces significant challenges with chronic absenteeism, ranging from 32.4% to 84.7% over the past 5 years, and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.83% to 88.59% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these underlying issues, which are also present in nearby struggling schools, may be crucial for improving student outcomes at Dr Joseph F Pollack Academic Center of Excellence.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
