Summary:

Zip code 48154, covering portions of Livonia, Michigan, contains 9 schools—6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and no high schools—serving a total of 4,498 students, with the vast majority belonging to the highly-rated Livonia Public Schools School District (86th percentile statewide, 4 stars) alongside one charter school, American Montessori Academy Elementary.

For parents, the standout choice is Hoover Elementary School, which ranks in the top 7% of Michigan elementary schools (5 stars) with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the area at just 9.0% and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (11.45%), while also posting the highest test scores across all subjects. Buchanan Elementary School is a close second, ranking in the top 10% with similarly strong academics and a 13.6% absenteeism rate. Riley Upper Elementary School (grades 5-6) also performs well with a 15.1% absenteeism rate. Among middle schools, Holmes Middle School leads the pack (90th percentile, 4 stars), with exceptional 8th grade Social Studies (72.5% proficient) and PSAT ELA (83.1%) scores, while Frost Middle School is nearly as strong, particularly in Social Studies (73.4%). Roosevelt Elementary School has shown the most improvement, jumping 275 spots in two years to reach the 86th percentile, though it still trails Hoover and Buchanan.

However, there are concerns. Randolph Elementary School has declined dramatically, falling from the 89th to the 59th percentile, with 4th grade ELA proficiency collapsing from 64.1% to 35.9%—likely a cohort effect. Kennedy Elementary School sits in the middle range. Notably, Roosevelt spends the most per student ($19,656) yet achieves only mid-pack results, while Hoover spends the least ($14,248) and performs best, suggesting spending efficiency matters more than raw dollars. Chronic absenteeism is the strongest predictor of success—top schools stay below 16%, while lower performers cluster at 22-24%. Finally, American Montessori Academy serves a very different demographic (56.58% free/reduced lunch) with a 1-star rating, highlighting educational inequality within the same zip code.
