Summary:
The Allen Park Public Schools district consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is located in Allen Park, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit.
Within the district, Arno Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, are significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, the other elementary and middle schools in the district have more room for improvement, with test scores below the state average in some subjects. Allen Park High School has maintained a 3-star rating and performs well on metrics like graduation rate and certain subject tests.
The district as a whole faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% across all schools, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 43.28% to 52.57% in the elementary and middle schools, suggest that many students in the district face economic disadvantages. While spending per student is generally in line with state averages, the district's test scores indicate a need for improvement, particularly in Math proficiency.
