Summary

Oakland International Academy Middle is a public charter middle school in Detroit, Michigan, serving 347 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Oakland International Academy district, which is ranked 424 out of 613 districts in the state.

Academically, Oakland International Academy Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan middle schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments (M-Step) generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranged from 25% to 33.1%, compared to the state averages of 38.6% to 44.4%. The school's performance on the PSAT exam for 8th graders is also below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 21% in Math to 61.6% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 30.4% and 65.3%, respectively.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Lincoln Middle School, J.E.
