Summary

Hayes Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Westland, Michigan, serving 390 students in grades K-4. It is part of the Livonia Public Schools School District, which is ranked 86 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hayes Elementary School has shown some strengths, such as 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates exceeding the district and state in recent years, the school generally performs below the district and state averages in both ELA and Math. The school's performance for special education students is around the middle of the state rankings, indicating room for improvement in this area. Additionally, Hayes Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.7% in 2020-2021 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.

Interestingly, the nearby Cleveland Elementary School and Grant Elementary School, both within the Livonia Public Schools District, generally outperform Hayes Elementary on academic measures, with Grant Elementary standing out with significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. In contrast, the nearby schools outside the Livonia district, such as American International Academy Elementary and Thomas A. Edison Elementary, perform significantly lower than Hayes Elementary on academic measures.
