High Schools in Detroit Edison Public School Academy

Summary:

The Detroit Edison Public School Academy High School is the sole high school located within the Detroit Edison Public School Academy district. The school serves students in grades 9-12 and has faced consistent academic challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels.

The school's performance has fluctuated, with a statewide ranking between 497 and 529 out of 735-743 Michigan high schools over the past three school years and a 1-2 star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is quite concerning.

Demographic and socioeconomic factors likely contribute to the school's academic challenges, as 65.72% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 21.1 is slightly higher than the state average, and its per-student spending of $11,655 is in line with the state average. These factors suggest that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve overall educational outcomes.
