Summary

Haigh Elementary School in Dearborn, MI, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 552 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Dearborn City School District. The school has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for over a decade, with its overall state ranking currently in the 75th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year.

What truly sets Haigh apart is its exceptional success with students who face economic challenges. In the 2024-2025 school year, Haigh's low-income students ranked in the 98th percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement that places the school in the top tier for supporting these learners. This strength extends to English Language Learners as well, who consistently rank in the 71st-79th percentile statewide. The school's literacy instruction is particularly noteworthy: 5th-grade ELA proficiency reached 63.5% in the 2025-2026 school year, dramatically outpacing both the district average of 46.5% and the state average of 43.8%. This pattern holds across all grade levels, demonstrating a school-wide commitment to reading and writing. Haigh also maintains a chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which is significantly better than the Dearborn district average of 25.9%, suggesting students are engaged and attending school regularly.

While Haigh excels in ELA and math, its performance in science and social studies is less dominant, with 5th-grade proficiency rates slightly below state averages in those subjects. When compared to nearby schools, Haigh's overall ranking is slightly lower than high-achieving neighbors like Howard Elementary School and Charles A Lindbergh Elementary School, yet Haigh's work with its low-income students is a point of distinction. The contrast with schools in nearby districts is stark—some schools less than two miles away have ELA proficiency rates in the single digits, making Haigh's 60-63% proficiency rates over six times higher. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.2 and per-student spending of $19,088, Haigh demonstrates that effective instruction and targeted support, rather than simply higher spending, drive its consistent, decade-long record of strong academic performance.
