Summary:

Henry Ford Academy is a public charter high school located in Dearborn, Michigan, serving grades 9-12. As the only school in the Henry Ford Academy district, it faces some significant challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and serving a disadvantaged student population.

Henry Ford Academy is ranked 462 out of 739 Michigan high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year is 82.8%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate is 7.6%, higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year is 29.5%, significantly higher than the state average.

Academically, Henry Ford Academy is underperforming the state averages in several core subjects, such as science, mathematics, and reading/writing. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year is $14,823, higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is 11.2, lower than the state average. However, these factors alone do not appear to be driving significant improvements in the school's academic performance, which may be impacted by the high percentage of students (68.9%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
