Summary

Pardee School is an elementary school located in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 360 students. The school is part of the Dearborn Heights School District #7, which is ranked 518 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pardee School consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state in standardized test scores, with only 19.6% of 3rd graders, 17% of 4th graders, and 18% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 44.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Pardee School has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 19.8 to 25.3 over the past few years, which is higher than nearby schools in the Dearborn City School District.

When comparing Pardee School to other nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. For example, Bedford School and Polk Elementary School, which are also part of the Dearborn Heights School District, consistently outperform Pardee School in academic measures. Despite the high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, Pardee School's per-student spending is relatively high, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to improve student outcomes.
