Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Lorraine

Public, Charter Grades PK, KG-6

1188^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,492 Michigan Elementary Schools

Better than 20% of Michigan elementary schools

Summary

Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Lorraine is a small public charter school in Warren, MI, serving 181 students in grades PK through 6, where every student qualifies for free or reduced lunch. The school is part of the Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy district, which currently ranks in the bottom 18th percentile statewide.

One of the school's standout features is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, which is far better than nearby schools like Marjorie Carlson Elementary School (11.2:1) or Frontier International Academy Elementary (28.2:1). This means your child would receive a great deal of individual attention. However, academic results have been inconsistent, with proficiency rates swinging dramatically from year to year—for example, 5th-grade reading jumped from 22% to 52% and then fell back to 30% over three years. Chronic absenteeism has also been a serious challenge, though it has improved significantly from 84.5% in 2021-2022 to 29.7% recently, which is still slightly above the state average.

When comparing schools, the most striking contrast is with Frontier International Academy Elementary, located less than a mile away. Frontier serves a similarly high-poverty population but achieves dramatically better results—80% of its 5th graders were proficient in reading versus just 29.6% at this school. That said, Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Lorraine does show notable strength in serving its African American students, who ranked in the 73rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025. The school also spends above the state average per pupil ($16,837), yet this funding hasn't translated into top-tier outcomes. For parents, this school offers small classes and a caring environment, but you may want to ask about attendance support and how the school plans to stabilize academic growth.
