Summary:
Oakland FlexTech High School is a single, small public high school in Farmington Hills, Michigan, serving grades 9-12 with 162 students and operating as its own standalone district, Oakland FlexTech High School.
For parents, this school offers a mixed but interesting profile. The most encouraging news is in science: 11th graders jumped from 31.9% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 41.9% in 2025-2026, now beating the state average by nearly 7 points. Social studies is also a steady strength, hovering right at the state average. However, math remains a serious concern—only 18.2% of 11th graders are proficient, compared to 26.5% statewide, even after a big improvement from the prior year’s 10.4%. English language arts also trails the state at every grade level, though the gap narrows as students progress from 9th to 11th grade. The school’s state ranking has been volatile, dropping from #370 to #451 before recovering to #394, suggesting year-to-year swings in performance.
On the positive side, the dropout rate is just 3.4%—less than half the state’s 7.1%—which points to strong student retention despite academic challenges. With a favorable 13.3:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $11,587, the school has resources for individualized attention. About 52% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet the school still beats state averages in science, a notable achievement. The biggest red flag is chronic absenteeism, which hit 51.6% in 2020-2021 during the pandemic; current data is unavailable, so it’s unclear if attendance has improved. Overall, this is a school with clear strengths in science and student support, but parents should be aware that math proficiency is the critical area needing attention.
