Students First – Inspire, Educate, Celebrate
Dearborn Public Schools will provide an exceptional learning environment that empowers every student to succeed in life today and in the future.About us
Dearborn Schools has 37 schools, ranging from neighborhood elementaries to specialized middle and high schools. Having a large district means we can offer unique programs ranging from a Montessori-style elementary to a variety of career programs for high school students. We even have our own Dearborn Virtual K-12 for students who want to learn all online with others from our community.
District-wide 96 percent of our student graduate high school. This is among the highest rates in the state for a large school district.
STEM Middle School (again in 2024), Haigh Elementary (2021), Henry Ford Early College (2021), Charles A. Lindbergh Elementary (2019), STEM Middle School (2018) and Iris Becker Elementary (2017) were all recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as National Blue Ribbon Schools. Learn more on our Blue Ribbon Schools page. Yeah, we have so many they get their own webpage.
Starting elementary school is an exciting time for your child and your family! Rest assured you are leaving your child in great hands with us. All of our schools provide a safe, nurturing environment where your child can learn and grow.
Free GSRP preschool
The Great Start Readiness Program is a state-sponsored preschool that is free to families. In years past, families had to meet income criteria to qualify, but the state is expanding the program as it moves towards universal preschool. Most families are now eligible.
Young 5s Kindergarten
Young 5s is a transitional year for students who may be technically old enough to start kindergarten, but would benefit from another year to grow socially and emotionally. The program is free to district students. Learn more in our Why Young 5s video.
Dearborn Public Schools is a great choice even if your child started school somewhere else. Our vision of Students First means our focus stays on what is best for your child. Because we realize each child is unique, we offer a wide variety of programs so your child can find what interests them.
