Summary

Myers Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Taylor, Michigan, serving 329 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.

Despite the high per-student spending and relatively small class sizes, Myers Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Michigan elementary schools for the past decade, with no significant improvement in its performance. The school struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 72.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, only 9.52% of 4th graders and 9.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 42.4% and 44.4% statewide, respectively.

When comparing Myers Elementary to other schools in the Taylor School District and nearby districts, it is clear that Myers is an outlier in terms of academic performance and other key metrics. For example, Kinyon Elementary, Bernice McDowell Elementary, and Holland Elementary all have higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism, despite being in the same district. The data suggests that Myers Elementary is struggling to overcome the challenges associated with serving a high-poverty student population, with over 97% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
