Summary

Taylor Parks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Taylor, Michigan, serving 334 students in grades K-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.

Taylor Parks Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools, with a ranking between 1200-1400 out of around 1500 schools. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 29.5% to 55.2%), well below average test scores (only 30.2% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 42.4% statewide), and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (78.02% to 85.58%). While the school's per-student spending has increased over the years, it is still below that of some nearby schools, such as Blair Moody Elementary.

Compared to other schools in the area, Taylor Parks Elementary's performance lags significantly behind its neighbors, such as Kinyon Elementary and Blair Moody Elementary, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of students from low-income families. Addressing the challenges at Taylor Parks Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that targets the root causes of the school's underperformance and leverages the resources and best practices of higher-performing nearby schools.
