Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy

Summary:

Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy is an elementary school in Detroit, Michigan, serving around 400 students in grades PK-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (72.75%) and significant African American (21.25%) and White (5.5%) representation.

Despite the school's dual language focus, Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 39.4% to 50.3%, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy's performance on M-Step and PSAT tests is consistently below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from just 10.9% to 31.6% and 7.69% to 27.3%, respectively, compared to state averages of 37.5% to 44% in ELA and 31% to 43.4% in Math. The school's performance on key subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is particularly concerning, with rankings among the lowest in the state.

Interestingly, the nearby Maybury Elementary School and Roberto Clemente Learning Academy, both part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District, demonstrate similar challenges with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and low socioeconomic status of the student population. This suggests that the issues faced by Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy are not unique but rather systemic within the district. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $16,489 to $22,512 in recent years, the increased funding does not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes, indicating that the school may face challenges in effectively utilizing its resources.

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.
