Summary:
East Arbor Charter Academy is the sole elementary school located in the East Arbor Charter Academy district in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The school serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 473 students.
While East Arbor Charter Academy has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 632 out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 903 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025, the school faces several challenges. It has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and its test scores are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with its 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate at 20.5% compared to the state average of 38.9% in 2024-2025.
The data suggests that East Arbor Charter Academy serves a relatively high-need student population, with 68.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 22.5 to 1, which could impact the level of individual attention and support students receive. Addressing these issues, including the declining academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, will likely require a collaborative effort between the school, district, and community stakeholders.
