Summary

Unis Middle School is a public middle school located in Dearborn, Michigan, serving 511 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Dearborn City School District, which is ranked 279 out of 613 school districts in the state.

Despite being part of the Dearborn City School District, Unis Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 454 and 617 out of 792-897 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 27.1% of 6th-grade students at Unis Middle School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40.2% in the Dearborn City School District and 38.6% statewide. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, with lower rankings compared to other Michigan middle schools, particularly for English Language Learners.

Interestingly, the nearby Dearborn STEM Middle School, which is also part of the Dearborn City School District, significantly outperforms Unis Middle School on academic measures, ranking in the top 1% of Michigan middle schools. Other nearby schools, such as Stout Middle School and Lowrey Middle School, also outperform Unis Middle School on academic measures, though not to the same degree as Dearborn STEM Middle School. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and providing targeted support for the school's student subgroups could be key to improving the overall quality of education at Unis Middle School.
