Hamtramck Academy

Summary:

Hamtramck Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in the diverse city of Hamtramck, Michigan, with a student population that is predominantly Asian (66.42%) and also includes significant White (14.42%) and African American (10.95%) representation.

Despite serving a high percentage of English Language Learners (ELL) and low socioeconomic status (SES) students, Hamtramck Academy has performed exceptionally well for these subgroups, ranking in the top quartile of Michigan elementary schools. This suggests the school is effectively supporting and meeting the needs of its most vulnerable student populations. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 10.9% in 2018-2019 to 48.7% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern that the school should address.

Compared to the nearby Hamtramck School District schools, Hamtramck Academy generally outperforms its peers in academic proficiency, particularly for its ELL and low SES subgroups. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates are higher than the district average, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address this issue and ensure continued student success.

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.
