Similarly, only 3.45% of 5th graders were proficient in Math, compared to the state average of 32.9%. The school also faces extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 64.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, more than double the state average.

Interestingly, Tyrone Elementary's performance is consistently lower than the nearby Beacon Elementary School, which is also part of the Harper Woods School District.
