Oakland International Academy PreK1

Public, Magnet, Charter Grades PK, KG-1

Summary

Oakland International Academy Elementary is a public magnet charter elementary school in Detroit, Michigan that serves grades 2-5 with a student population of 169. The school is part of the Oakland International Academy district, which is ranked 521 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Oakland International Academy Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance is consistently lower than state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 24.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average of 39.6%. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 8.3% to 20.8% over the past few years, and an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.63% to 100%. When compared to nearby schools like Tau Beta School, Bridge Academy East, and Hanley International Academy, Oakland International Academy Elementary performs significantly worse across a range of metrics.

The school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has been declining over the past several years, and its struggles are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as white students and English Language Learners. Despite the high percentage of students in poverty, the school's per-student spending has been relatively high, suggesting that the school may be facing unique challenges that are not being addressed effectively. Overall, Oakland International Academy Elementary appears to be a struggling school that requires significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
