Summary

Clarence Randall Elementary School is a K-5 school in Taylor, MI, serving 492 students within the Taylor School District, where about 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Clarence Randall faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math well below state averages across all grade levels. For example, 3rd-grade ELA proficiency sits at 19.2% compared to the state average of 38-44%, and 5th-grade math proficiency is just 12.5% versus a state average of 32-43%. However, it's important to note that the school performs on par with or slightly better than many of its district peers. In 4th-grade math, Clarence Randall posted 26.9% proficiency versus the district's 18.4%, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 36.3% is markedly better than the district's 47.2% average. The school has also shown steady improvement in attendance, dropping from a high of 58.1% in 2021-2022. A relative bright spot is 5th-grade science, where 29.6% proficiency outpaces several nearby schools, including Blair Moody Elementary School (12.8%) and Holland Elementary School (18.5%).

When compared to schools just a couple of miles away in the Allen Park Public Schools district, the achievement gap is stark—3rd-grade ELA at Bennie Elementary School is 56.1% versus 19.2% at Clarence Randall. This difference correlates with the much higher poverty rate at Clarence Randall (84% free/reduced lunch) compared to Bennie (48%). The school spends $19,431 per student, which is higher than Bennie's $14,851, yet outcomes remain lower, raising questions about resource allocation. Encouragingly, the school's state ranking improved from the 12th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026, and subgroup data shows the school is relatively more effective at serving its low-income students (25th percentile) than its overall population (20th percentile), suggesting targeted supports may be gaining traction.
