Academy of Warren

Summary:

Academy of Warren is a public charter elementary school serving 802 students in grades PK-8 in Warren, Michigan, a predominantly African American and low-income community. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-2% of Michigan elementary schools over the past decade, maintaining a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, the lowest possible rating.

Academically, Academy of Warren struggles significantly, with proficiency rates on state assessments far below state averages. In 2023-2024, only 4.92% of 4th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 43.3%, and just 8% of 3rd graders and 4.92% of 4th graders met proficiency standards in math, compared to state averages of 43.4% and 39.1%, respectively. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 81.8% in 2021-2022, well above the state average. These academic challenges are likely exacerbated by the school's predominantly low-income student population, with 97.63% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Regent Park Scholars Charter Academy, Pleasantview Elementary School, and Brewer Academy, which also serve predominantly African American and low-income student populations, generally outperform Academy of Warren on academic measures and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Academy of Warren may be unique and require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to address the persistent underperformance that has plagued the school for over a decade.

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.
