Summary

Blair Moody Elementary School is a public elementary school in Taylor, Michigan, serving 340 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Taylor School District, which is ranked 539 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blair Moody Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments that have been declining in recent years. In 2024-2025, only 18.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 38.9% statewide and 13% in the Taylor School District. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.5% to 55.2% over the past few years. Despite increased per-student spending, these academic challenges persist.

Interestingly, the nearby Allen Park Public Schools district, such as Bennie Elementary, significantly outperform Blair Moody Elementary and the Taylor School District on academic measures, despite serving a similar demographic of students. This suggests that the challenges faced by Blair Moody Elementary may be systemic within the Taylor School District, and that more effective strategies are needed to support student learning and address the underlying factors contributing to the poor academic outcomes.
