Summary

Albert Schweitzer Elementary School in Westland, MI, serves 407 students in grades PK-5 within the Wayne-Westland Community School District, where about 62% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most pressing issue at Albert Schweitzer is chronic absenteeism. In the 2024-2025 school year, 42.6% of students were chronically absent—15 percentage points higher than the state average of 27.9%. This is a long-standing challenge, with rates hovering around 40-63% in recent years. Academically, the school struggles significantly, particularly in upper elementary math. Only 7.8% of 5th graders and 10.4% of 4th graders were proficient in math, compared to state averages of 32.2% and 39.4%. Reading scores are also low, though 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (29%) was actually above the district average (20.3%), suggesting early literacy efforts may be starting to help. However, that progress fades by 4th and 5th grade. The school spends a substantial $19,739 per student, yet outcomes remain in the bottom 15% of Michigan elementary schools.

Comparisons with nearby schools highlight what’s possible. PD Graham Elementary School, just 1.27 miles away in the same district, outperforms Albert Schweitzer in nearly every subject and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (34.6% vs. 42.6%). For example, 5th-grade reading proficiency at PD Graham is 33.8% versus 20.3% at Albert Schweitzer. Even more striking, Field Elementary School in the nearby Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district—just 2.6 miles away—achieves 3rd-grade math proficiency of 62% compared to Albert Schweitzer’s 24.2%. These gaps show that improvement is achievable, but addressing the attendance crisis must be the first priority. No academic program can succeed when over 40% of students are regularly missing school.
