Regent Park Scholars Charter Academy is part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District, which is ranked 524 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Regent Park Scholars Charter Academy consistently performs below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 6.9% to 29.6% and 7.9% to 23.4%, respectively, across different grade levels. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 64.6% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and a key differentiating factor for the school. Additionally, 97.13% of students at Regent Park Scholars Charter Academy qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the nearby schools, such as Pleasantview Elementary School, Academy of Warren, and Brewer Academy, also struggle with low academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism, Regent Park Scholars Charter Academy stands out as the most underperforming in the area. Despite increased spending per student, from $10,783 in 2019-2020 to $12,768 in 2022-2023, the school has not been able to significantly improve its performance, suggesting that additional resources alone may not be the solution.

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.
