Summary:

The 48210 zip code of Detroit, Michigan is home to 11 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 5 alternative schools. This area faces significant educational challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates and low proficiency scores across many of the schools.

However, a few schools stand out as bright spots in the data. New Paradigm College Prep, an alternative school, has relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in English Language Arts and Math. Cesar Chavez Academy Intermediate, a charter elementary school, also performed well, with proficiency rates in the 20-30% range for English Language Arts and 15-18% for Math, among the highest in the data set. Additionally, Academy of the Americas at Logan had the highest 3rd grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math among the schools with available data.

The data also reveals significant funding disparities, with spending per student ranging from $4,960 at Voyageur College Prep to $19,747 at Priest ElementaryMiddle School. This suggests that addressing these inequities could be a crucial step in improving educational outcomes across the Detroit Public Schools Community District.
