Summary

Wylie Elementary School in Dexter, MI, serves 486 students in 3rd and 4th grades within the Dexter Community School District, a high-performing school in an affluent Washtenaw County community.

Wylie is a consistently strong academic performer, ranking in the top 20% of Michigan elementary schools and outpacing state averages by roughly 20 percentage points in both English Language Arts and Math. For example, 4th-grade ELA proficiency sits at 63.6% versus the state's 41.3%, and 4th-grade Math proficiency is 61.4% versus 39.4%. The school also stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.0%—far better than the state average of 27.9% and lower than the district's 11.9%. This suggests students are engaged and attending school regularly. Wylie is also notably cost-effective, spending $15,609 per student, which is significantly less than nearby Ann Arbor schools like Dicken Elementary School ($24,433) and Lakewood Elementary School ($22,816), despite achieving comparable or better results. The school's unique grade configuration—focusing solely on 3rd and 4th graders—allows teachers to specialize in this age group's specific needs, which may contribute to its success.

While Wylie is a top-tier school, there are areas for growth. Its Special Education students rank in the bottom half of the state (44th percentile), a stark contrast to the school's overall performance. On a positive note, Hispanic students rank in the 88th percentile statewide, higher than the school's overall 84th percentile, indicating strong outcomes for this group. Wylie's closest academic peer is Wines Elementary School in Ann Arbor, which ranks higher (97th percentile) and achieves slightly better test scores, serving as a benchmark for future improvement. The school has also shown remarkable post-pandemic recovery, with chronic absenteeism dropping from a spike of 30.6% in 2021-2022 to just 11.0% today, demonstrating a successful effort to re-engage students and families.
