Summary

GrandPort Elementary Academy is a public middle school located in Ecorse, Michigan, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 358 students. Based on the data provided, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 721 and 884 out of around 900 middle schools in the state.

GrandPort Elementary Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 4.29% to 21.4% in English Language Arts and 4.71% to 17.1% in Math, compared to state averages of 32.9% to 44.4% and 32.9% to 33.3%, respectively. Additionally, the school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 68.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Allen Park Middle School in the Allen Park Public Schools district and Stout Middle School in the Dearborn City School District, both schools significantly outperform GrandPort Elementary Academy on state assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the high per-student spending and the school's efforts over the years, GrandPort Elementary Academy has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance or other key metrics.
