Fisher Magnet Academy

Summary:

Fisher Magnet Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Detroit Public Schools Community District, with a predominantly African American student population. The school is ranked 1477 out of 1486 Michigan elementary schools and has a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges.

Fisher Magnet Academy's performance is well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, only 3.9% of students were proficient or better, compared to 11.7% in the district and 39.6% statewide. The school's African American and low-income students perform especially poorly, with the school ranking 346 out of 348 Michigan elementary schools for its African American 3rd graders in English Language Arts. The school also likely struggles with high chronic absenteeism, based on the extremely high rates at nearby schools in the same district.

The challenges faced by Fisher Magnet Academy appear to be systemic issues within the Detroit Public Schools Community District, as nearby schools like Brewer Academy and Pulaski ElementaryMiddle School have similarly low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism. Addressing these systemic issues will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to support the academic and social-emotional needs of students in the Detroit area.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
