Summary

Long Elementary School is a small, PK-5 school in Dearborn, MI, serving 238 students within the Dearborn City School District, where nearly 80% of students come from low-income households.

The most remarkable thing about Long Elementary is how well it serves its students from low socio-economic backgrounds. In the most recent school year, the school ranked in the 82nd percentile statewide for effectiveness with low-income students, earning a 4-star rating for that subgroup—even though its overall ranking sits near the middle of the pack. This means that when you account for the challenges that come with poverty, Long is doing an exceptional job. The school has also shown positive momentum, improving from a 2-star to a 3-star overall rating in recent years. Notably, 5th-grade science and social studies scores now exceed the district average, a reversal from just a couple of years ago. While Long isn't the top performer in its immediate area—schools like Charles A Lindbergh Elementary School (85th percentile) and Duvall Elementary School (89th percentile) rank higher—those schools serve far fewer low-income students, making Long's achievements particularly noteworthy.

There are two areas parents should watch. First, chronic absenteeism sits at 29.1%, higher than both the district and state averages, which can undermine learning even with strong teaching. Second, there's a growing gender gap: female students now rank in the 54th percentile while male students have dropped to the 42nd percentile, a reversal from the previous year. On the positive side, Long spends a substantial $22,964 per student, and it stands out as a relatively strong option compared to nearby schools in the Westwood Community School District, where schools like Thorne Elementary School and Daly School are struggling profoundly. For families seeking a school that genuinely moves the needle for children facing economic challenges, Long Elementary deserves serious consideration.
