Detroit Service Learning Academy Campus

Summary:

Detroit Service Learning Academy Campus is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Detroit, Michigan, with a student population of 902. The school serves a predominantly African American student body, with 99.89% of students identifying as such, and a very high percentage (99%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 30.1% to 61.2%) and extremely low academic performance (with only 7.6% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%), the school has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $7,864 to $14,080 in recent years. Nearby schools, such as Cooke STEM Academy, Beech Elementary, and MadisonCarver Academy, which also serve predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student populations, generally outperform Detroit Service Learning Academy Campus on academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics and economic status are contributing to the school's struggles.

The data highlights the urgent need for targeted, evidence-based strategies to support the students and staff at Detroit Service Learning Academy Campus and ensure that all children in the Detroit Public Schools Community District, which is ranked 604 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, have access to a high-quality education.

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.
