While Hamtramck Academy outperforms many of the nearby public schools in the Hamtramck School District, such as Dickinson West Elementary and Holbrook School, the school could benefit from addressing its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 27.6% to 30.8% over the past few years. Additionally, the school's Asian and White student subgroups have lower rankings compared to its other subgroups, suggesting a need to focus on improving outcomes for these specific populations.
