Summary

American International Academy High SchoolMiddle Schooll is a small public charter school in Inkster, MI, serving 240 students in grades 7 through 12, where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school faces significant academic challenges. Test scores are well below state averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels. For example, only 10.4% of 7th graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 38.4%, and just 6.25% were proficient in math versus 33.3% statewide. The school's overall state ranking has slipped from the 11th percentile to the 6th percentile over the past two years, with a particularly sharp decline among male students. Chronic absenteeism is a serious concern at 40.5%, nearly double the state average of 27.9%, and the dropout rate of 12.9% is also about twice the state average. However, there are bright spots. The graduation rate has improved dramatically, rising from 68.4% in 2020-2021 to 87.1% in 2024-2025, which now exceeds the state average of 84.0% and beats nearby schools like John Glenn High School (79.4%) and Cambridge Alternative High School (54.5%). Additionally, 8th-grade PSAT ELA scores stand out at 47.8% proficiency, approaching the state average and suggesting a possible area of strength worth investigating.

One of the most striking differences is funding. American International Academy spends just $4,961 per student, which is less than a third of what neighboring districts spend—for instance, Wayne Memorial High School spends $18,393 and Robichaud Senior High School, which serves a similarly high-poverty population, spends $23,817 per student. This resource gap likely impacts class sizes, support staff, and instructional materials. While the school deserves credit for improving graduation rates, parents should weigh the low test scores, high absenteeism, and limited per-student spending against the school's success in getting students to graduation when making their decision.
