Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Dequindre

Summary:

Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Dequindre is an alternative public charter school located in Warren, Michigan, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 587 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 83.48% African American, 6.81% White, 6.47% Asian, 2.21% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with fluctuating graduation rates ranging from a high of 90.4% in 2018-2019 to a low of 74.4% in 2021-2022. The 2022-2023 graduation rate stands at 83.3%, which is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby alternative schools, such as Cornerstone JeffersonDouglass Academy. The school's dropout rates have also varied, from a low of 4.7% in 2018-2019 to a high of 20.9% in 2021-2022, with the 2022-2023 rate at 8.3%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 36.2% in 2020-2021 to a peak of 89.6% in 2021-2022, with the 2022-2023 rate standing at 62.3%, significantly higher than the state average.

Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests, such as the M-Step and SAT, is generally lower than the state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math range from 13% to 32.6%, compared to the state averages of 37.5% to 44%. However, when compared to the nearby alternative schools, such as Advantage Alternative Program, Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Dequindre generally performs better in terms of graduation rates and test scores, but struggles with higher dropout rates and chronic absenteeism. The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 100% suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population, which likely contributes to the school's challenges.

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.
