Oakland International Academy Elementary

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.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
