Summary

Maples Elementary School in Dearborn, MI, serves 541 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Dearborn City School District, which holds a 3-star rating statewide.

Maples has a clear strength in early education. In the most recent school year, 57.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts and 66.7% were proficient in Math—both dramatically higher than district and state averages. The school also stands out for its work with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide for that subgroup and earning a 4-star rating. This is especially notable given that over 94% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to nearby schools, Maples is a clear outperformer. For example, Gardner Elementary School, located just half a mile away in the Detroit Public Schools Community District, has 3rd-grade ELA proficiency of just 8.57%—more than six times lower than Maples' 57.5%.

However, the data reveals a significant challenge: a sharp academic decline in the upper grades. While 3rd-grade scores are among the best in the Dearborn district, 4th-grade proficiency drops dramatically—ELA falls from 57.5% to 30.3%, and Math from 66.7% to 36.4%. This pattern is more pronounced at Maples than at peer schools like Lowrey Elementary School or Miller Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, holding steady at around 29.4% for three years—higher than both district and state averages. On a positive note, Maples achieves these results while spending less per student ($18,549) than several higher-performing Dearborn peers, and it shows above-average support for English Language Learners. Addressing the 4th-grade slump and absenteeism could help this school build on its strong early foundation.
