Macomb Montessori Academy

Public, Charter Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Macomb Montessori Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Warren, Michigan, with a student population of 248. However, the school's performance lags significantly behind nearby schools, with persistently low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

Macomb Montessori Academy stands out for its high percentage of African American students (93.55%), which is much higher than the 50-83% range of nearby schools like Pleasantview Elementary School, Marjorie Carlson Elementary School, and McKinley Elementary School. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly lower than state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Macomb Montessori Academy has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 66.2% to 10.1% over the past 5 years, much higher than the 45-61% range of nearby schools.

The high percentage of students (94.35%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at Macomb Montessori Academy suggests that the school serves a population facing significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to its struggles with academic achievement and chronic absenteeism. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student ($14,825 in 2022-2023), the school has been unable to achieve better academic outcomes, indicating that it may be facing challenges in effectively utilizing its resources or addressing the unique needs of its student population. These factors, combined with the school's persistently low performance compared to nearby public schools and public charter schools in the Eastpointe Community Schools, Van Dyke Public Schools, Academy of Warren, and Eaton Academy districts, suggest the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the underlying factors contributing to its struggles and to provide the necessary support and resources to improve student outcomes.
