What Parents Should Know

At 149 students, Martin Luther King Academy for Boys Elementary School is on the smaller side.

Ask what activities it actually offers.

36% of students at Martin Luther King Academy for Boys Elementary School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average. Chronic absenteeism means missing 15 or more school days, and at high rates it drags on classroom pacing for everyone. Ask what the school does to help families get kids to class consistently.
