The 48127 zip code area is home to 14 schools spanning elementary, middle, high, and alternative education, spread across two school districts - Crestwood School District and Dearborn City School District. The schools in this area show a wide range of performance, with some standout institutions like Kinloch Elementary School and Dearborn STEM Middle School ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle with low graduation rates and high dropout and chronic absenteeism.

Among the elementary schools, Kinloch Elementary and Highview Elementary (both part of Crestwood School District) stand out with state-wide rankings in the top 25% and 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. At the middle school level, Dearborn STEM Middle School is the highest-ranked, earning a 5-star rating and the #1 spot among Michigan middle schools.
