Summary

Chandler Park Academy Elementary is a public charter school in Harper Woods, MI, serving 817 students in grades PK through 5, and is part of the Chandler Park Academy district.

The most remarkable thing about this school is its attendance. Only 6.8% of students were chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year—a dramatic improvement from 52.1% just a few years earlier. This rate is far better than nearby schools like Brewer Academy (84.1% chronic absenteeism) and Fisher Magnet Academy (27.5%), and it beats the state average of 27.9%. While test scores are below state averages—with ELA proficiency around 20% compared to the state's 40%—the school still outperforms most of its immediate neighbors. It ranks in the 8th percentile statewide, which is higher than Brewer Academy, Discovery Creative Pathways Harper Woods, Tyrone Elementary School, Pleasantview Elementary School, and Carleton Elementary School—all of which rank in the 2nd to 6th percentile. Only Regent Park Scholars Charter Academy (23rd percentile) performs better nearby.

There are important areas of concern. Math proficiency is critically low and drops sharply as students advance—from 15.3% in 3rd grade to just 4.31% in 4th grade. There's also a significant gender gap: the school ranks in the 10th percentile for female students but only the 1st percentile for male students. On a positive note, the school achieves these results while spending about $11,746 per student—far less than Fisher Magnet Academy, which spends nearly double ($22,419) yet ranks lower. The school also shows relative strength in serving its African American students, ranking in the 22nd percentile for this group. For parents, this school offers a strong culture of attendance and engagement that appears to be preventing even lower outcomes, but math achievement and support for male students need serious attention.
