The district is home to several standout schools, such as Henry Ford Early College, which is ranked among the top 5% of Michigan high schools, and Haigh Elementary School and Howard Elementary School, which are ranked in the top 15% of Michigan elementary schools.

While the district's overall performance is below the state average on metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism, there are pockets of excellence that demonstrate the potential for improvement. Dearborn STEM Middle School is ranked as the #1 middle school in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Bryant Middle School and Henry Ford Early College are also high-performing schools that have achieved exceptional results.
