Detroit Edison Public School Academy High School

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

615^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 800 Michigan High Schools

Better than 23% of Michigan high schools

Summary

Detroit Edison Public School Academy High School is a public charter high school in Detroit's Midtown area serving 419 students in grades 9-12 within the Detroit Edison Public School Academy district.

The most impressive thing about this school is its graduation rate. At 97.6%, it matches elite Cass Technical High School and far exceeds the state average of 84%. The school has kept graduation rates above 95% for four straight years, and its dropout rate of 2.3% is dramatically lower than the state's 7.1%. This tells you the school is very successful at keeping students on track to finish. The school also stands out for its performance with African American students, ranking in the 69th percentile statewide for this group and earning a 4-star rating. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has dropped from 52.6% to 44.8% over two years, showing improving engagement—though it remains above the state average of 27.9%.

However, there's a clear trade-off. Academic proficiency is a major concern, especially in math, where only 6.5% of 11th graders were proficient on the SAT. Reading proficiency is better at 30.1%, which actually beats nearby University Prep Science and Math High School (16.7%) and Martin Luther King Junior Senior High School (26.1%). Compared to other non-selective schools in the area, Edison appears to offer a "value-add"—students who arrive with average preparation may leave better off than they would at some competitors. The school also operates efficiently, spending just $12,006 per student versus $22,858 at Detroit School of Arts and $24,639 at Crockett Midtown High School of Science and Medicine, while still achieving higher graduation rates. For parents, this school offers a safe bet for graduation, but you'll want to ask about math support and college readiness given the low proficiency scores.
