Summary

McCollough Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dearborn, Michigan, serving 410 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dearborn City School District, which is ranked 279 out of 613 school districts in the state.

McCollough Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and underperformance of specific student subgroups. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 33.8% to 41.1%, while the district's rates were 42.7% to 49% and the state's were 38.9% to 44.4%. Additionally, the school's White students and English Language Learners ranked in the bottom 20% and 30% of Michigan elementary schools, respectively. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $20,576 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5, the school's performance has been declining over the past several years.

When compared to nearby schools within the Dearborn City School District, such as Lowrey Elementary, Maples Elementary, and Iris Becker Elementary, McCollough Elementary performs significantly worse on most metrics, including test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
