Taylor School District

The Taylor School District in Michigan operates 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.

While some schools, like Holland Elementary School, stand out for their relatively strong academic performance, others, such as Myers Elementary School, struggle with low proficiency rates and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The district's virtual high school, Taylor Virtual Learning Academy, has the lowest statewide ranking and the highest dropout rate, indicating a need for improvement in this area.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across the district, with several schools reporting rates above 50%. This, combined with the disparities in academic performance and the correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement, suggests that the Taylor School District may need to address equity and resource allocation to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
