Earhart ElementaryMiddle School

Summary:

Earhart ElementaryMiddle School is a public school in Detroit, Michigan, serving 910 students in grades PK-8. The school has a diverse student population, with 62.31% Hispanic, 27.8% African American, and 9.23% White students. However, Earhart ElementaryMiddle School consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages, particularly for its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations.

Earhart ElementaryMiddle School's academic performance is significantly below state and district levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in M-Step/English Language Arts ranged from 5.1% to 10.9% across different grade levels, compared to the state average of 37.5% to 44%. Similarly, in M-Step/Math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 3.03% to 6.5%, while the state average was 31% to 43.4%. Additionally, Earhart ElementaryMiddle School has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.8% to 71.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also has a very high percentage of students (82.42% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the nearby schools in the Detroit Public Schools Community District also struggle academically, Earhart ElementaryMiddle School consistently performs worse than these schools across various metrics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Earhart's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math were significantly lower than those of Burton International Academy, Harms Elementary School, and Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy, which are also located in the same district. The school's performance has remained consistently poor over the years, with little to no improvement in academic proficiency or other key metrics, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of its poor academic performance.

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.
