Summary

Kinyon Elementary School in Taylor, MI, serves 375 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Taylor School District, a district facing significant economic challenges with 77.6% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Kinyon stands out as a relative academic strength within its district, consistently outperforming the Taylor School District average across nearly all subjects and grade levels. For example, 4th-grade math proficiency at Kinyon was 33.3% compared to the district's 18.4%. The school shows particular strength in mathematics, with 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates significantly higher than other Taylor elementary schools and even surpassing some schools in the neighboring Allen Park Public Schools district. Kinyon is also on an upward trajectory, improving its state ranking for three consecutive years, from the 17th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 29th percentile in 2025-2026. While the school's overall performance lags behind the state average, it has shown notable success with specific student groups, earning 3-star ratings for its work with African American and Hispanic students statewide.

Despite these strengths, Kinyon faces significant hurdles. Chronic absenteeism affects 28.3% of students, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 47.2% and the lowest among all Taylor elementary schools, but still nearly double the rate at nearby Arno Elementary School in Allen Park. The school spends a considerable $22,754 per student, higher than the Allen Park schools that achieve much better academic results, suggesting that financial resources alone cannot overcome the barriers posed by high poverty and attendance issues. The contrast between districts is stark—schools just 1-2 miles away in Allen Park Public Schools achieve proficiency rates of 60-70% in core subjects, while Kinyon and its Taylor peers often fall in the 20-30% range. Kinyon is a school showing genuine progress within a challenging context, building on its strengths while working to address the systemic issues of attendance and overall achievement that persist.
