Summary:

The 48127 zip code area is home to two middle schools: Riverside Middle School and Dearborn STEM Middle School. While both serve grades 6-8, the data reveals a stark contrast in their academic performance and overall quality.

Dearborn STEM Middle School stands out as an exceptional performer, consistently ranked #1 among Michigan middle schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores far exceed the Dearborn City School District and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies. For example, 7th grade ELA proficiency at Dearborn STEM was 94.44%, compared to 34.8% for the district and 37.9% for Michigan.

In contrast, Riverside Middle School appears to be a more typical middle school, with test scores and rankings closer to the district and state averages. Both schools, however, share a concerning issue - high chronic absenteeism rates of around 29.5%. This is an area that requires attention from the schools and the Crestwood School District to improve student learning and achievement.
