Summary

Hamtramck Academy consistently outperforms the state average on M-Step assessments across multiple grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, 56.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 38.9%, and 58.6% were proficient in math compared to 42.7% statewide. The school also ranks highly for its performance with English Language Learner (ELL) students, earning a 4-star rating in 2024-2025. Despite serving a high-need population, with 98.01% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Hamtramck Academy ranks 156th out of 1,346 Michigan elementary schools for low socioeconomic status students.

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.
