Summary

Highview Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Crestwood School District in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. With 382 students, the school has shown steady improvement in academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math assessments for grades 3 and 4.

Highview's strong academic performance is particularly noteworthy given its demographic challenges. The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 90.31% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Highview also has a significant population of English Language Learner (ELL) students. Despite these factors, the school's low-income students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 49 out of 1,346 Michigan elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025.

While Highview's academic achievements are impressive, the school has also faced an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.8% in 2022-2023 to 29.5% in 2023-2024. This trend is not unique to Highview, as nearby schools like Hillcrest Elementary and Kinloch Elementary also experienced similar levels of chronic absenteeism. Addressing this issue could have a significant impact on student learning and outcomes at Highview.
