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. In comparison, the nearby University High School Academy, also part of the Southfield Public School District, has much higher academic performance, graduation rates, and test scores. This suggests that the challenges faced by Southfield Regional Academic Campus may be more complex than just a lack of resources, and addressing the root causes, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student engagement, will be crucial for improving outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
