Summary

Miller Elementary School in Dearborn, MI, serves 575 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Dearborn City School District. The school has shown a strong recovery from a difficult period in the early 2020s, stabilizing at a 2-star rating (48th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year, a significant improvement from its 28th percentile ranking just a few years prior.

Miller's most notable strength is its exceptional work with students from low-income backgrounds. Despite 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school ranks in the 72nd percentile (4 stars) for its effectiveness with low-socioeconomic status students—far exceeding its overall 48th percentile ranking. This pattern has held for three consecutive years, indicating the school has developed successful strategies for supporting economically disadvantaged learners. Miller also performs well with English Language Learners, ranking in the 53rd percentile for this group. When compared to nearby schools in the district, Miller stands out as a relative bright spot: Geer Park Elementary School (29th percentile) and William Ford Elementary School (33rd percentile) both trail Miller's overall performance despite serving similar populations. The nearby charter options, Academy for Business and Technology Elementary and Riverside Academy, are rated 0 or 1-star, making Miller a stronger academic choice in the immediate area.

However, parents should be aware of some challenges. Miller excels in early-grade math—3rd and 4th graders outperform state averages—but proficiency drops dramatically by 5th grade (24.4% vs. 32.2% statewide). Fifth-grade science (23.2% proficient) and social studies (14.6% proficient) also lag significantly behind district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is a concern at 33.0%, higher than the district (25.9%) and state (27.9%) averages, which may contribute to the upper-grade performance declines. The school spends a substantial $19,910 per student, though this investment doesn't clearly translate to top-tier outcomes across all subjects.
