Dearborn Heights School District #7


Summary:

Dearborn Heights School District #7 is a small district in Michigan that serves 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district faces several challenges, including uneven academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and unique needs at its virtual high school.

While Bedford School and Polk Elementary School outperform the district and state averages in some subject areas, the middle and high schools generally struggle with low proficiency rates on state assessments. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across the district, ranging from 30.5% at Polk Elementary to 69.7% at the Dearborn Heights Virtual Academy.

The Dearborn Heights School District #7 also faces challenges with its virtual high school, which has a very low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, but also alarmingly low graduation rates and high dropout rates compared to the district's traditional high school, Annapolis High School. Poverty and related socioeconomic factors, as evidenced by the high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the overall academic struggles in the district.
