Summary

East English Village Preparatory Academy at Finney is a public high school in Detroit, MI, serving 639 students in grades 9-12 within the Detroit Public Schools Community District, where over 88% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school is showing real signs of momentum. Its statewide ranking has climbed dramatically, from the 1st percentile in 2022-2023 to the 19th percentile in 2025-2026. The graduation rate has also improved steadily, rising from 54.3% in 2020-2021 to 76.3% in 2024-2025. In the most recent testing year, proficiency rates in Science (26.1%) and Social Studies (37.6%) on the M-Step not only surpassed the district average but showed remarkable year-over-year growth. The school also earns a 2-star rating for its African American students (44th percentile statewide) and a 2-star rating for its Special Education students (39th percentile), suggesting targeted support is working for these groups. However, significant challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism affects 77.1% of students, which likely contributes to low proficiency in core subjects. College readiness is a major concern—only 8.9% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and 14.3% in SAT Math, compared to state averages of 52.1% and 26.5%.

Compared to nearby schools, the picture is mixed. Within the district, Denby High School has a higher graduation rate (81.7% vs. 76.3%), while Davis Aerospace Technical High School at Golightly boasts a 93.1% graduation rate and significantly better SAT reading scores (30.4% vs. 8.9%). The starkest contrast is with Grosse Pointe South High School, less than 3 miles away, which sits in the 99th percentile with an 84.1% proficiency rate in SAT Reading/Writing and a 96.8% graduation rate. At $23,684 per student, East English Village spends more than most nearby schools, and while that investment hasn't yet produced top-tier outcomes, the recent upward trends in rankings, graduation rates, and specific subject areas offer a foundation to build on.
