Elementary Schools in Global Heights Academy

Summary:

Global Heights Academy is the sole elementary school located in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 277 students. Based on the available data, this public charter school is performing well below the state average, ranking 1402 out of 1488 Michigan elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, and M-Step/Social Studies ranging from 8.33% to 16.1% proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 29.8% to 44.4%. This low performance has persisted over the past few years, with little to no improvement. Additionally, Global Heights Academy has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $14,336 and a student-teacher ratio of 19.7, which is slightly higher than the state average, the school continues to struggle to improve student outcomes. This suggests that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution, and a more comprehensive approach targeting the unique needs of the school's student population, which has a very high percentage (99.28%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be necessary to address the persistent challenges faced by Global Heights Academy.
