Summary

Kinloch Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving 533 students in grades K-4 in the Crestwood School District in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. The school consistently outperforms the district and the state in academic achievement, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 244 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Kinloch Elementary's strong academic performance is particularly notable in its subgroup performance. In 2024-2025, the school ranked 172 out of 1,338 Michigan elementary schools for female students and 325 out of 1,366 for male students in English Language Arts. For low socioeconomic status students, Kinloch ranked 31 out of 1,346 Michigan elementary schools, indicating that the school is highly effective in supporting this population. The school's academic success is further evidenced by its consistently higher standardized test scores compared to the district and state averages.

While Kinloch Elementary has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism in recent years, reaching 29.5% in 2023-2024, this rate is still lower than the 30.8% rate in 2022-2023. The school's additional funding, which has increased from $10,885 per student in 2020-2021 to $15,109 in 2023-2024, may have contributed to its academic success and ability to support its diverse student population. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.6 to 19.3 over the past few years, suggests that additional teaching staff could provide more individualized attention and support for students.
