Summary

Redford Service Learning Academy Campus is a public charter elementary school serving 365 students in grades PK-8 in Redford, Michigan, which is part of the Detroit Service Learning Academy District.

The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools on academic performance, with proficiency rates in the single digits for many grade levels and subjects. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, ranging from 29.5% to 65.5% in recent years. The school serves a predominantly low-socioeconomic student population, with 97-99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Nearby schools like Weston Preparatory Academy, Charles Wright Academy of Arts and Science, and Grand River Academy generally perform better on academic measures, despite also serving high-poverty student populations, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status are contributing to the poor performance at Redford Service Learning Academy Campus.

The school spends between $9,250 and $13,369 per student, which is on the higher end compared to the nearby schools, indicating that the school's challenges are not due to a lack of funding. The student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated significantly, ranging from 15.2 to 46.5 in recent years, which may be another factor contributing to the school's struggles. Comprehensive, evidence-based strategies will likely be needed to address the root causes of the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
