Old Redford Academy

The Old Redford Academy district in Michigan operates three schools: Old Redford Academy High, Old Redford Academy Elementary, and Old Redford Academy Middle School. Unfortunately, the data indicates that all three schools are performing poorly compared to state averages across a variety of metrics, with no standout schools in the district.

The Old Redford Academy district is ranked 608 out of 613 districts in Michigan and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The high school had a 4-year graduation rate of only 82.8% and a dropout rate of 7.6%, both significantly worse than state averages. All three schools had a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, much higher than the state average. Across all grade levels, the percentage of students proficient or better on standardized assessments was 20-30 percentage points lower than state averages.

The data also reveals that the student population faces significant economic challenges, with 92% to 95.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher-than-average spending per student, ranging from $12,343 to $19,423, the schools have consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan schools with little to no improvement over time. This suggests that the district may need to address systemic issues and reevaluate its resource allocation and spending priorities to drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes.
