Haigh Elementary consistently outperforms the Dearborn City School District and the state of Michigan in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels.

However, Haigh Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.81%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. Additionally, while Haigh has seen a notable increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.3% in 2017-2018 to 19.9% in 2022-2023, this rate is still lower than the nearby Long Elementary School (31.0%) and Duvall Elementary School (25.1%).

Haigh Elementary has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (56.89%) compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Long Elementary (70.43%) and Duvall Elementary (49.75%), suggesting potential socioeconomic differences within the Dearborn community. The school's consistent academic excellence, unique demographic profile, and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to its neighbors warrant further exploration to understand the factors contributing to its success and the potential implications for the broader Dearborn community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
