Summary

Eaton Academy is a small public school in Eastpointe, MI, serving 332 students in grades K-8 as a single-school district, where the vast majority of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Eaton Academy faces significant academic challenges, with overall test scores placing it in the bottom 10% of Michigan schools. On the 2025-2026 M-Step, only 8.5% of 5th graders and 18.4% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, while math proficiency was critically low—just 7.3% for 4th graders and 6.1% for 7th graders. Science proficiency was also concerning, with only 6.5% of 5th graders meeting state standards. However, there are some bright spots. Female students at Eaton Academy rank in the 22nd percentile statewide, far outperforming male students who rank in the 4th percentile—a gap that suggests targeted support for boys could yield big gains. Additionally, African American students at the school rank in the 24th percentile, notably better than the school's overall ranking, indicating effective practices that could be expanded. The school also shows a relative strength in 8th grade, where PSAT English scores reached 54.2% proficiency, approaching the state average.

One of the most encouraging trends is the dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which fell from a staggering 69.6% in 2021-2022 to 41.6% in 2024-2025—still above the state average of 27.9% but a major improvement. Eaton Academy also outperforms several nearby schools in the Eastpointe Community Schools district, including Crescentwood Elementary School and Bellview Elementary School, while spending significantly less per student ($13,470) than schools like Fisher Magnet Academy ($22,419). With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1 and improving attendance, Eaton Academy has a foundation to build upon, though addressing the gender gap and declining elementary performance will be key to future progress.
