Summary

Geer Park Elementary School in Dearborn, MI, serves 380 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Dearborn City School District, an above-average district statewide. However, the school itself is currently facing significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom third of Michigan elementary schools with a 1-star rating.

Test scores at Geer Park are dramatically lower than those at nearby schools in the same district. For example, in the most recent school year, only 11.8% of 4th graders were proficient in math, compared to a 46.4% district average and a 39.4% state average. This is a striking gap when you consider that Lowrey Elementary School (50% proficiency) and Iris Becker Elementary School (65.8% proficiency) achieve results 4 to 5 times higher in the same subject and grade. The school's weakness is especially pronounced in math, where proficiency drops sharply from 35.9% in 3rd grade to just 11.8% in 4th grade. By contrast, Geer Park shows relative strength in English Language Arts—5th-grade reading proficiency (46.2%) nearly matches the district average (46.5%) and exceeds the state average (43.8%).

Several other factors stand out. Chronic absenteeism has risen to 29.0%, higher than peers like William Ford Elementary School (25.2%). The school also spends a substantial $19,706 per student—more than several higher-performing neighbors—yet this investment hasn't translated into better outcomes. The most encouraging comparison is with Iris Becker Elementary School, located just over 2 miles away, which achieves top-quartile rankings while serving a similar student population. This demonstrates that strong results are achievable in this community, and with targeted support, Geer Park has a clear path toward improvement.

Open Quote Terrible terrible school, worst I've ever gone too and I couldn't wait to get out! First of all, most of the teachers are not competent in the slightest! Some of them can barely speak English! The principal is absolutely horrendous, does not deal properly with school issues or anything for that matter. And for being such gold diggers, the school doesn't spend much money on the students! There are few if any good teachers in that school, you go into middle school not prepared if you don't prepare yourself. The school is also very filthy, and kids are constantly getting sick and getting their peers sick! Horrible school, avoid it if you can. Close Quote
