Summary

Myers Elementary School in Taylor, MI, serves 315 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Taylor School District, a district facing significant economic challenges where the vast majority of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most pressing concern at Myers is an exceptionally high chronic absenteeism rate. In the 2024-2025 school year, 75.9% of students were chronically absent—meaning they missed a substantial number of school days. This rate is nearly 2.7 times the state average and more than double the rate at nearby Kinyon Elementary School (28.3%) and Clarence Randall Elementary School (36.3%) in the same district. This persistent issue, which has remained above 72% for four straight years, makes it extremely difficult for any school to make academic progress. Test scores reflect this challenge: in 2025-2026, only 6.38% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 19.2% for the district and 38.2% statewide. The contrast with schools just a few miles away is stark—at Wegienka Elementary School in the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District, 3rd-grade math proficiency was 59% in the same year.

Despite spending a substantial $21,042 per student—more than many higher-performing schools in neighboring districts—the investment has not yet translated into strong outcomes. However, there is a small sign of hope: the school's state ranking improved from the 0th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 9th percentile in 2025-2026, and 5th-grade reading proficiency jumped from 9.3% to 24.3%. While these numbers remain far below state averages, they suggest that recent efforts may be starting to help, particularly with older students. For parents considering this school, it's important to understand that Myers faces unique and deep-rooted challenges related to attendance and poverty that go beyond what funding alone can solve, though the recent uptick offers a glimmer of possibility for gradual improvement.
