The city of Farmington, Michigan is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school), and no middle schools. The Farmington Public School District as a whole is ranked 138 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a relatively strong performance compared to other districts in the state.
Longacre Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking 309 out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools in 2024-2025 with a 4-star rating. The school consistently demonstrates strong academic performance, with 49.1% to 66.7% of students proficient or better in M-Step English Language Arts and Math across grades 3-5. In contrast, Farmington High School has a 4-star rating but lower proficiency rates in M-Step/SAT subjects, ranging from 33.4% to 63.8%.
The alternative high school, Visions Unlimited, has a very small student population of just 49 students and a remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 4.7, suggesting a highly personalized learning environment. However, the school also has a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 32.65%, indicating a student population with greater economic challenges. The per-student spending at Visions Unlimited is significantly higher than the other schools at $80,813, likely due to the specialized nature of the alternative program.
