Summary:
East Arbor Charter Academy is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the East Arbor Charter Academy district in Ypsilanti, Michigan. With a total enrollment of 483 students, the school has a diverse student population, with 42.24% African American, 29.81% White, 12.22% Hispanic, and 2.07% Asian students. While the school outperforms the state average in English Language Arts proficiency, its math and social studies proficiency rates are areas of concern, suggesting a need to focus on improving instruction in these subjects.
One significant issue at East Arbor Charter Academy is the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.7%, which is higher than the state average. This may be impacting student learning and academic achievement, and the school should investigate the root causes and implement strategies to improve attendance. Additionally, a large portion of the student population (67.49%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need that the school must address to support its students' success.
Despite these challenges, East Arbor Charter Academy has access to adequate financial resources, spending $13,424 per student, which is above the state average. However, the school must ensure that these resources are being used effectively to support student learning and address the areas of concern identified in the data, such as improving math and social studies instruction, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate.
