Southfield Regional Academic Campus faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (96.43%) and consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of Michigan high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its 4-year graduation rate is only 55.2%, and it has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 92.1%.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $23,738 and a low student-teacher ratio of 16:1, Southfield Regional Academic Campus continues to struggle.
