Summary

Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy is an elementary school in Detroit, Michigan that serves grades PK-8. As part of the Detroit Public Schools Community District, which is ranked 549 out of 613 districts in Michigan, Neinas has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Michigan elementary schools over the past several years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, with only 10% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 38.9% statewide and 12.9% for the district. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 66.1% over the past few years, much higher than state and district averages. Additionally, Neinas serves a high-poverty student population, with 79.39% to 84.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending between $17,549 and $22,512 per student, which is higher than the state and district averages, the school's performance has remained consistently low over the past several years.

The challenges facing Neinas Dual Language Learning Academy are not unique, as nearby schools in the Detroit Public Schools Community District, such as Maybury Elementary School and Roberto Clemente Learning Academy, also perform poorly on standardized tests and have high rates of chronic absenteeism and poverty. This suggests that the issues at Neinas are reflective of broader systemic challenges within the district, and addressing these will be crucial in supporting the success of Neinas and other schools serving high-need populations.
