Summary

Lowrey Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dearborn, Michigan, serving 525 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Dearborn City School District, which is ranked 279 out of 613 districts in the state.

Lowrey Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, particularly in Math. In 2024-2025, 61.3% of 3rd graders at Lowrey were proficient or better in M-Step Math, compared to 53.5% for the district and 42.7% for the state. Lowrey's 5th-grade students also performed well, with 52% proficient or better in M-Step Math, compared to 40.9% for the district and 32.9% for the state. However, the school's English Language Arts performance is more mixed, with some grades exceeding the district and state, while others fall behind.

Lowrey's female students consistently outperform their male counterparts, and the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform well, ranking in the top 50% of Michigan elementary schools for this subgroup. Notably, Lowrey's low socioeconomic status (SES) students are a standout, ranking in the top 5% of Michigan elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025. Despite these strong academic results, Lowrey has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.2% to 34.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. The school spends significantly more per student ($20,996 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic performance.
