Summary

Adlai Stevenson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Southfield, Michigan, serving 498 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Southfield Public School District, which is ranked 447 out of 613 districts in the state.

Adlai Stevenson Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages in M-Step test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.8% of 3rd-graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 33.8% in the district and 38.9% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with just 6.4% of 4th-graders and 14.5% of 5th-graders scoring proficient or better. In contrast, the nearby MacArthur K8 University Academy outperforms Adlai Stevenson in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 75.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This is in stark contrast to the Beverly Elementary School in the neighboring Birmingham Public Schools district, where only 10.1% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Adlai Stevenson Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 49.7% in recent years, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.
