Summary

Lowrey Elementary School in Dearborn, MI, serves 515 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Dearborn City School District, a school where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Lowrey stands out most for its exceptional results with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for this group in 2024-2025—a feat unmatched by any nearby school. The school is also a consistent leader in mathematics, with 3rd-grade proficiency at 63.4% in 2025-2026, well above the district (50.6%) and state (42.9%) averages. This strength carries across all grade levels. In 5th-grade social studies, Lowrey posted a 31.3% proficiency rate, the highest among all neighboring schools, including Oakman Elementary School (24.1%) and Maples Elementary School (12.8%). The school also shows a notable advantage for male students, who ranked in the 75th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, a significant jump from the previous year.

However, parents should be aware of a few challenges. English Language Arts scores take a sharp dip by 5th grade—only 35.8% of 5th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, compared to 47.5% of 4th graders, falling below both district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism, while improving to 26.1%, remains a hurdle. The school’s per-student spending of $23,605 is substantial but not the highest among neighbors, suggesting effective resource allocation. When compared to nearby charter options like Academy for Business and Technology Elementary and Riverside Academy—both serving 100% low-income populations but ranking in the bottom 10-17% of the state—Lowrey’s 63rd percentile ranking demonstrates it is providing a significantly higher quality education for its students than the immediate alternatives.
