Summary

Great Oaks Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 747 students in grades K-8 in Warren, Michigan. The school is part of the Great Oaks Academy District, which is ranked 277 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Great Oaks Academy's overall academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, the school excels in supporting certain student subgroups. For example, the school's African American students rank in the top 4 out of 369 Michigan elementary schools for their performance. Additionally, despite having a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 90-92% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Great Oaks Academy's low-income students perform better than the state average, ranking in the top 3 out of 1,346-1,381 Michigan elementary schools for this subgroup. However, the school faces a significant challenge with a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 29.5% to 43.7% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average.

Comparing Great Oaks Academy to nearby schools, such as Hoover Elementary, Dove Academy of Detroit, and Mason Academy, reveals that these schools generally perform worse on state assessments and have higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, some nearby schools, like Mark C Roose Elementary and Siersma Elementary, have higher proficiency rates in certain subjects and grade levels compared to Great Oaks Academy.
