Summary

Snow Elementary School in Dearborn, MI, serves 465 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Dearborn City School District. The school has earned a solid 3-star rating for four consecutive years, with a student-teacher ratio of 14.7:1 and per-student spending of $20,308.

Snow Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance in upper elementary grades. In 4th and 5th grade ELA, proficiency rates reached 53.6% and 54.2% respectively—well above both district and state averages. The school is particularly effective with students from economically diverse backgrounds, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide for its work with low socio-economic status students. This is a remarkable strength, especially when compared to nearby schools in the Dearborn Heights School District #7. For example, Snow's 3rd-grade math proficiency (53.1%) was nearly three times higher than Polk Elementary (17.4%) and over four times higher than Pardee School (11.9%).

While Snow excels in most areas, there are opportunities for growth. Social Studies scores in 5th grade (15.3% proficiency) lag behind district and state averages, a trend worth watching. Chronic absenteeism at 25.3% is also higher than at Duvall Elementary (18.1%), a nearby top performer. On a positive note, Snow's English Language Learner students have shown significant improvement, jumping from the 48th to the 59th percentile in just one year. The school also achieves strong results with more efficient resource use than some peers—Nowlin Elementary and WhitmoreBolles Elementary spend over $30,000 per student yet rank lower overall. For parents seeking a school that delivers consistent, above-average academics with a proven track record for supporting diverse learners, Snow Elementary is a compelling choice.
