Da Vinci Schools

The Da Vinci Schools district in Michigan operates two schools: Da Vinci Schools 612, a high school, and Da Vinci Schools K5, an elementary school. While the high school has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, both schools face challenges in academic performance, attendance, and resource allocation.

Da Vinci Schools 612 has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8%, but also a concerning dropout rate of 7.6% and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%. In contrast, Da Vinci Schools K5 has seen more fluctuation in its statewide ranking and has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to state averages.

Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with over 85% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the schools face unique challenges in terms of resource allocation and student support. The district should prioritize addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and the significant underperformance in academic proficiency across both schools to improve educational outcomes for the students in the Da Vinci Schools district.
