Elementary Schools in Dearborn City School District

Summary:

The Dearborn City School District in Michigan is home to 20 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in size, from the 199-student Duvall Elementary to the 726-student Henry Ford Elementary. The district's elementary schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with several standout schools ranking among the top in the state.

The top-performing elementary schools in the Dearborn City School District include Haigh Elementary, Howard Elementary, Charles A. Lindbergh Elementary, and Duvall Elementary. These schools excel in both English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates well above the district average. In contrast, some schools like Salina Elementary P 3 and Oakman Elementary struggle with lower proficiency rates, particularly among disadvantaged student populations.

The data also reveals significant variation in other key metrics, such as chronic absenteeism rates, free and reduced lunch eligibility, and spending per student. While there is no clear correlation between spending and performance, the analysis suggests that addressing chronic absenteeism and targeting support for schools serving economically disadvantaged students could be effective strategies for improving academic outcomes across the district.
