Summary

Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Dequindre is an alternative public charter school located in Warren, Michigan, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 626 students. The school is part of the Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy District, which is ranked 487 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges compared to both state averages and nearby alternative schools. Its four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 70.5% and 83.3%, lower than the state average of around 80%. Dropout rates are also relatively high, ranging from 7.6% to 14.7%, much higher than the state average. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue, with rates ranging from 29.5% to 61.1%, much higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

One notable finding is the school's extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.04% to 100% in recent years. This suggests the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to its lower performance on various metrics. When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Cornerstone Jefferson-Douglass Academy, Academy 21, and Keys Grace Academy, Michigan Mathematics and Science Academy Dequindre generally performs worse on key indicators like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
