There average standarized test scores are low as you see right here. Explore Jalen Rose Leadership Academy

Is it impacting lives? Sure, but from a academic standpoint, it's an L. Not much different then the public schools. If, you're a person that doesn't think standarized test mean much, then that's a different debate. But your SAT below a 1000 is basically preparing kids for community college. I work at one of the worst school in Detroit, and that's all we do. Get kids ready for the community college, not the university.

Anyone have links to the current average SAT scores of their graduates? Graduation rates don't mean much without knowing those numbers.

Correct me if I'm confusing you for somebody else, but aren't you one of the crowd that dismisses the significance of standardized test scores?

What are the general numbers for high schools in Detroit?
@valet , if you don't mind, what are the numbers for the school you work at?

Jalen's school is not a Magnet, so they are drawing students from the same pool as the regular high schools.
Retention and graduation numbers are higher, but the freshman class enters having attended the same k-8 as freshmen at the other high schools.

At the Rose Academy, they are in an environment that fosters development and with fewer distractions.

I dont know our profiency numbers this year (we got a new principal) But only 24% of seniors are on track to graduate. 30% of juniors. 34% of sophomore.

What I mean is only 24% of seniors will graduate on time without doing credit recovery. And etc. with the other classes.
