Oakland International Academy Middle

Summary:

Oakland International Academy Middle is a public charter middle school in Detroit, Michigan that serves 216 students in grades 6-8. The school has a predominantly white student body, which is unique compared to many nearby schools in the area.

Unfortunately, Oakland International Academy Middle has struggled academically, with consistently low performance on standardized tests. Only about 30% of 6th and 7th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, well below the state averages. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10-23% in recent years. Compared to nearby schools like Lincoln Middle School, Oakland International Academy Middle performs significantly worse across various metrics.

The school's spending per student has increased over the years, but is still lower than some neighboring schools like Detroit Lions Academy. This disparity in funding may be contributing to the school's poor performance, especially for certain student subgroups like white students and English Language Learners. Overall, Oakland International Academy Middle faces significant challenges that will require a comprehensive improvement plan to address issues with student engagement, academic achievement, and resource allocation.

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.
