Summary:
Hanley International Academy is the sole elementary school located in the Hanley International Academy district in Hamtramck, Michigan. Serving grades PK-8, the school has a total enrollment of 658 students and is a public charter institution. While the district is ranked 387 out of 613 in Michigan and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Hanley International Academy itself does not appear to be a standout performer.
The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT assessments, is inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas. While the 8th grade ELA proficiency rate on the PSAT exceeds the state average, the school significantly underperforms the state in other areas, particularly in Math. Additionally, Hanley International Academy has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is substantially higher than the state average. Despite spending $13,138 per student, which is above the state average, and having a student-teacher ratio of 16.1, which is slightly lower than the state average, the school is not achieving strong academic outcomes.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (96.35%) suggests that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic achievement. Overall, Hanley International Academy appears to be a struggling school that is facing multiple challenges, including inconsistent academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors that may be hindering student success. A comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems may be necessary to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
