Jalen Rose Leadership Academy

Summary:

Jalen Rose Leadership Academy is a public charter high school in Detroit, Michigan that serves 411 students in grades 9-12, with a predominantly African American student body. While the school has maintained high graduation rates, it faces challenges with chronic absenteeism and low test scores compared to state and nearby school averages.

Jalen Rose Leadership Academy stands out for its 96.4% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates at nearby schools like Renaissance High School (95.4%) and Oak Park High School (93.1%). However, the school struggles with chronic absenteeism, with 40.0% of students classified as chronically absent, higher than the rates at Renaissance High School (35.4%) and Oak Park High School (79.1%). Academically, Jalen Rose Leadership Academy's test scores lag behind state and nearby school averages, with only 8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science, 13.8% in M-Step/Social Studies, and 21.8% in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.

Despite these challenges, Jalen Rose Leadership Academy outperforms some other high-poverty schools in the area, such as Jerry L. White Center, Tri County Educational Center, and Old Redford Academy High in terms of graduation rates and test scores. The school also spends significantly more per student ($13,535 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average and nearby schools, though this higher spending does not seem to translate into significantly better academic outcomes.

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.
