Summary

Randolph Elementary School in Livonia, MI, is a K-4 public school within the Livonia Public Schools School District, serving 532 students in a suburban setting. The school has experienced a notable shift in recent years, moving from a period of high academic achievement to a more challenging phase that parents will want to understand.

Just a few years ago, Randolph was a top performer, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide and earning 4-5 star ratings for nearly every student group. However, the most recent data shows a significant drop to the 59th percentile, a stark contrast to nearby schools like Hoover Elementary School (1.5 miles away) and Buchanan Elementary School, which continue to rank in the 85th-94th percentile range. This decline aligns closely with a rise in chronic absenteeism—currently at 24.0%, compared to just 9.0% at Hoover. Test scores also reveal a steep drop between 3rd and 4th grade in English Language Arts (44% to 35.9% proficiency), a pattern not seen at higher-performing neighboring schools.

Despite these challenges, there are important positives. Randolph spends more per student ($18,074) than many peers, including Hoover ($14,248) and Buchanan ($15,517), reflecting a strong investment in its diverse student body. Additionally, the school's past performance proves it can achieve excellent results for all learners—in 2023-2024, it earned 5-star ratings for its African American and low socio-economic status students, demonstrating a proven ability to close achievement gaps. For parents considering this school, the key takeaway is that Randolph has the resources and demonstrated capacity to succeed, but current attendance issues and recent academic declines are critical areas that need attention. Families may want to ask the school about specific interventions for absenteeism and 4th-grade support.
