Dearborn City School District reported a 93.0% four-year graduation rate in 2025. Among the 10 Michigan districts with a 2025 graduating cohort of at least 1,000 students, Dearborn ranked seventh. Troy led that comparison at 98.3%.

The 2007 starting point of 76.8% makes Dearborn's 2025 rate a 16.2-point improvement over 18 years.

The graduation-rate data establish the outcome and the long-run change. They do not identify which programs, student characteristics, or community conditions produced the rate, so this article makes no causal claim.
