Brenda Scott Academy for Theatre Arts - Detroit Public Schools. Changes for Fall 2012 Brenda Scott Academy has been selected to transition to The Education Achievement Authority (EAA) of Michigan, a new statewide system of schools that will assume operation of the lowest 5 percent of the Persistently Lowest Achieving (PLA) schools in the state of Michigan.
The EAA’s mission is to develop a new approach to educating children who are growing up in a 21st Century digital environment. The EAA of Michigan will begin operating its first schools in September 2012 when 15 elementary, middle and high schools in Detroit are transferred into the new system of schools. About The Education Achievement Authority The EAA of Michigan will support a student-centered system of education that emphasizes a culture of continuous improvement. If a student can complete course work in six months, rather than nine, they will be advanced to the next level of course work.

Wayne RESA. Michigan Department of Education. Dropout Challenge Team. Check out the 2013-2014 Video Competition... The high school graduation rate is a barometer of the health of American society and the skill level of its future workforce (1). However, research shows -- a students' circumstances do not dictate success -- educational experiences do. Today, one out of every four Michigan students fail to graduate from public high school with his or her freshman class. Students who drop out of school lack the tools to compete in today's global economy and diminish their chances for greater success in the future.
Research shows most students send distress signals years before they drop out of school. In fact, key early warning signs displayed by students nearing or entering transitional school years, such as 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grades, have proven to be strong dropout predictors. A recent study confirms that schools in the Challenge have statistically significant lower dropout rates than those not yet part of the Challenge. Mike Flanagan.
