Summary

Long Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Dearborn, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 254. It is part of the Dearborn City School District, which is ranked 279 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Long Elementary School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, moving from 630th out of 1,548 Michigan elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 547th out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on M-Step assessments is generally on par with or slightly above the Dearborn City School District and Michigan state averages, particularly in 5th-grade English Language Arts and Math. Long Elementary School has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in 5th-grade M-Step English Language Arts (60%) compared to the district (49%) and state (44.4%) averages, and its 5th-grade M-Step Math proficiency rate (53.3%) is significantly higher than the district (40.9%) and state (32.9%) averages.

While Long Elementary School's performance is generally stronger than the nearby Whitmore-Bolles Elementary School, the nearby Duvall Elementary School and Charles A. Lindbergh Elementary School outperform Long Elementary School on several key metrics, including higher M-Step proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (79.53%) is a notable characteristic, and the school's strong performance for this student subgroup is commendable. However, the sharp increase in chronic absenteeism at Long Elementary School, from 23.4% in 2023-2024 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, is a significant concern that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
