Summary

Redford Service Learning Academy Campus is a public charter school in Redford, MI, serving 445 students in grades PK through 8 under the Detroit Service Learning Academy district.

This school is on a clear upward trajectory. While its overall state ranking remains low (14th percentile in 2025-2026), that's a dramatic improvement from just the 1st percentile in 2022-2023—making it the only school in its comparison group showing such consistent multi-year growth. The school significantly outperforms its own district in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency hit 20.8% versus a district average of just 8.2%, and 4th-grade math reached 19.2% compared to 5.6% district-wide. It also outperforms nearby MadisonCarver Academy (5th percentile) and Discovery Creative Pathways Redford (6th percentile), while trailing slightly behind Grand River Academy (17th percentile) and Beech Elementary (18th percentile). Notably, the school's 8th-grade PSAT ELA performance (26.5% proficient) beats several nearby schools, including Charles Wright Academy of Arts and Science (22.4%).

The biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism—53% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, nearly double the state average. However, this is an improvement from 60.8% the prior year and is actually better than nearby Fostering Leadership Academy (67.9%) and Discovery Creative Pathways Redford (76.8%). The school spends $14,380 per student—far less than Beech Elementary's extraordinary $30,855—yet achieves comparable results, suggesting efficient use of resources. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1 and a "service learning" model that shows particular strength in early elementary math and social studies, this is a school making steady progress despite significant economic challenges affecting nearly all of its students.
