Summary:

The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 83.06% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $11,727 in 2020-2021 to $15,366 in 2022-2023, CB Sabbath 68 Preparatory Academy has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Michigan over the past decade.

For example, in 2023-2024, only 4.23% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.5% and the River Rouge School District average of 8.4%. The school's performance is particularly low for African American students, ranking 307 out of 310 Michigan middle schools in this subgroup for English Language Arts in 2022-2023.

The school's struggles are further highlighted by its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.1% in 2020-2021 to 82.7% in 2022-2023, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools, such as Woodrow Wilson School (35.2%) and Stout Middle School (35.2%). The school's student-teacher ratio of around 22-23 students per teacher is also higher than the ratios of some nearby schools, such as Stout Middle School (15.8) and Woodworth Middle School (17.4).

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.
