New Dawn Academy of Warren

Summary:

New Dawn Academy of Warren is a public charter elementary school serving 76 students in grades K-8 in Sterling Heights, Michigan. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 43.42% Asian, 36.84% African American, and 11.84% White students.

New Dawn Academy of Warren stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA). The school outperforms the state average in ELA proficiency across all grade levels, with 5th and 6th graders scoring significantly higher than the state. However, the school's math proficiency is more mixed, with 6th and 7th graders scoring below the state average. Despite serving a high percentage of low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, with 92.11% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school ranks 100 out of 1,381 Michigan elementary schools for low-SES students, indicating strong performance for this subgroup. One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.1%, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools and the state average.

Compared to nearby traditional public schools, such as Harwood Elementary School and Wilkerson Elementary School, New Dawn Academy of Warren has a unique racial composition with a much higher percentage of Asian students and a lower percentage of White students. The school also spends $16,793 per student, which is higher than the nearby traditional public schools but lower than the specialized Maple Lane School. Additionally, New Dawn Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, which is lower than the nearby traditional public schools.

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.
