Detroit Enterprise Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Detroit Enterprise Academy school district, located in DETROIT, MI with about 706 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 39 teachers, Detroit Enterprise Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Detroit Enterprise Academy is a tuition-free public charter school serving students in grades K-8. Located on the east side of Detroit, the school operates under the National Heritage Academies (NHA) network, which emphasizes a curriculum grounded in high academic standards, moral character development, and a "partnership" model that encourages active involvement from parents and the community.

The school is structured around a "Moral Focus" program, which integrates character education—such as integrity, respect, and responsibility—directly into the daily classroom experience alongside core subjects like math, science, and literacy. By combining rigorous academic expectations with a supportive, values-based culture, Detroit Enterprise Academy aims to prepare its students for long-term success in high school and beyond, fostering both intellectual growth and personal accountability within the urban Detroit educational landscape.
