However, the Southfield Public School District as a whole is struggling, with a rank of 447 out of 613 districts in Michigan and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The district's lower-performing schools, such as Alice M Birney K8 School, Thompson K8 International Academy, McIntyre Elementary School, and Vandenberg Elementary School, have significantly lower test scores compared to the top-performing magnet schools. Addressing the district's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and targeting interventions to improve outcomes at the lower-performing schools should be priorities.
