Summary

Salina Intermediate 4 8 in Dearborn, MI, is a school serving 461 students in grades 4 through 8 within the Dearborn City School District, where 93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable upward trajectory. Over the past five years, Salina has climbed from the 3rd percentile to the 40th percentile in statewide rankings—a dramatic improvement that shows effective changes are taking hold. The school is particularly successful with its economically disadvantaged students, who perform better than the school's overall average, ranking in the 53rd percentile statewide. One of the most striking successes is in 8th grade math, where students scored 42.5% proficient on the PSAT—well above both the district (32.9%) and state (30.4%) averages. Salina also boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1 and a chronic absenteeism rate of 26.7%, which is notably lower than nearby Stout Middle School (34.9%), Lowrey Middle School (30.3%), and Unis Middle School (34.4%).

However, challenges remain. Science and social studies scores lag significantly behind state averages—only 10.2% of 8th graders were proficient in science compared to 39.2% statewide. English Language Learner students also struggle, ranking in the 12th percentile, though this is an improvement from previous years. There's also a notable dip in 5th grade math and science scores that may signal transition challenges. While Salina's overall ranking is comparable to Woodworth Middle School (40th percentile), it trails Lowrey (79th) and Stout (68th). Still, given the school's consistent improvement and strong attendance, Salina represents a school on the rise that is working hard to serve its community.
