Summary

Dearborn High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Dearborn, MI, serving 1,775 students in grades 9-12 within the Dearborn City School District. The school serves a predominantly low-income student body, with nearly 65% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

The most defining feature of Dearborn High is its exceptional graduation rate of 96.2%, which far exceeds the state average of 84.0% and even outpaces its own district's rate of 92.9%. This is paired with a remarkably low dropout rate of just 1.1%, compared to the state's 7.1%. The school also shows outstanding results with specific student groups, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide for African American students and the 77th percentile for special education students. Academically, the school's strongest subject is Social Studies, where 43.1% of 11th graders are proficient—nearly matching the state average and well above the district's 35.1%. However, proficiency in Science (22.6%) and Math (26% on SAT) lag behind state averages, creating a clear picture of a school that prioritizes keeping students on track to graduate over pushing top-tier test scores.

Compared to its district peer, Edsel Ford High School, Dearborn High is a stronger performer, ranking in the 57th percentile versus Edsel Ford's 33rd, and posting significantly higher SAT Reading/Writing scores (55.7% vs. 39.6%). It also outperforms nearby Crestwood High School in graduation rate. However, it is overshadowed by the district's selective early college programs like Henry Ford Early College, which rank in the 98th percentile—though these serve a self-selected, high-achieving cohort rather than the general student population. One area of concern is the school's performance with English Language Learners, where it ranks in the 23rd percentile, a significant drop from two years prior. Additionally, while the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.7% is better than state averages, it stands in contrast to the high graduation rate, suggesting robust support systems for students facing attendance barriers. With per-student spending of $17,114—higher than many comparable schools—Dearborn High invests heavily in student support, which appears to pay off in persistence and completion, even if test scores don't always reflect that investment.
