Summary:
New Dawn Academy of Warren is the sole public charter elementary school (K-8) serving the Sterling Heights, Michigan area, with a total enrollment of 172 students. The school's performance has been variable, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 375 and 502 out of over 1,400 Michigan elementary schools in recent years. While the school shows some academic strengths, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts, it also faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and lower-than-average proficiency in Math, particularly in the upper grades.
Despite spending $14,554 per student, which is higher than the state average, New Dawn Academy of Warren faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a very high free/reduced lunch rate of 91.86%. This suggests the school may be serving a population with significant needs, which could be contributing to its variable performance and high chronic absenteeism. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors driving the school's strengths and weaknesses.
Overall, New Dawn Academy of Warren appears to be a school facing a mix of challenges and successes, with room for improvement in key areas like Math proficiency and chronic absenteeism. Parents and the community may want to closely monitor the school's progress and work with the district to address the identified areas of concern.
