How Triumph Academy compares with Michigan and U.S. medians
What stands out at Triumph Academy
Triumph Academy is a higher-need, large charter elementary school in Monroe, Michigan, enrolling 777 students.
Class loads run heavy: 22.9:1 is larger than about 91% of Michigan schools and 31% above the 17.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 57.9% lands close to the Michigan typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
By headcount it is one of the larger campuses in Michigan, bigger than 91% of state schools at 777 students.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 97% of the 3,375 Michigan schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 289 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Michigan schools statewide, it ranks #271, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by White (68%) and Two or More (15%) (diversity index 50/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 47.5% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Triumph Academy is a single-school charter district, so Triumph Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
