Summary:
The American Montessori Academy Elementary is the sole elementary school located within the American Montessori Academy district in Livonia, Michigan. This public charter school serves grades PK-1 with a total enrollment of 156 students.
Despite spending a relatively high $12,498 per student, American Montessori Academy Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools over the past 3 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school faces challenges such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and a significant majority (66.03%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school does maintain a low student-teacher ratio of 14.5, suggesting smaller class sizes.
Overall, American Montessori Academy Elementary appears to be underperforming compared to other elementary schools in Michigan, despite its relatively high spending per student. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and supporting the socioeconomically disadvantaged student population may be key factors in improving the school's academic performance and overall outcomes.
