Summary:
The Cesar Chavez Academy district contains a single middle school, Cesar Chavez Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance data suggests it is struggling to meet academic standards compared to other middle schools in Michigan.
Cesar Chavez Middle School is ranked 677 out of 890 Michigan middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.6% of 6th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 38.6%, and only 12.4% were proficient in math, compared to 31.5% statewide. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past few years.
Additionally, Cesar Chavez Middle School faces challenges such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and a very high percentage of students (95.39%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect the investment in resources, suggesting the school may be facing other challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to improve student learning.
