Eastpointe's students and families are fortunate to have access to a wide range of educational possibilities, including private, public, and charter school options. Pre-K–8 students attend Eaton Academy, a charter school in the Eastpointe neighborhood of Detroit Metro that thrives on its goal of educating kids for the future. Eaton Academy uses a community-based approach to learning that integrates critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, data-driven training, and highly skilled teachers.

Small class groups, extended hours, and free transportation allow families to learn and develop in a comfortable, warm environment. Eaton Academy's aim is to support and encourage educators, families, the community, and corporate partners to contribute to kids' education by using technology, academic abilities, and creativity in a way that leads to lifelong learning or continuing education. The school recognizes that every child learns differently, and every staff member has a responsibility to assist children in locating what works. The institution is altering how its students view education and their futures as a result.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
