Summary

Allen Park Middle School serves 896 students in grades 6 through 8 and is the sole middle school within the Allen Park Public Schools district, which ranks in the 76th percentile statewide.

This school has shown remarkable, consistent improvement over the past several years, climbing from the 41st percentile in the 2021-2022 school year to the 67th percentile by 2025-2026. Academically, Allen Park Middle School outperforms nearly all of its nearby counterparts. For example, in 7th-grade math, its proficiency rate of 34.1% is more than double that of Davidson Middle School (13.9%) and Lincoln Park Middle School (11%). The gap is even wider in 8th-grade PSAT math, where Allen Park's 40.5% proficiency is nearly three times higher than Davidson's and more than four times higher than Lincoln Park's. The school also excels in 8th-grade social studies (55.1% proficiency) and PSAT English language arts (68.4%), both above state averages. Notably, Allen Park achieves these results while spending the least per student ($13,720) among all comparison schools—far less than Stout Middle School, which spends $22,556 per student for comparable performance. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (22.2%) than the state average (27.9%) and far below neighbors like Davidson (42.7%) and Lincoln Park (39.3%).

Allen Park Middle School demonstrates exceptional success with its African American students, who ranked in the 91st percentile statewide (5 stars) in 2025-2026. However, there are areas needing attention. The school shows a gender achievement gap, with male students ranking in the 70th percentile versus females in the 56th percentile. Most concerning is the special education subgroup, which ranked in the 11th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026, a sharp decline from the previous year's 30th percentile. For families considering options in the area, Allen Park Middle School stands in a completely different academic tier than nearby Lincoln Park Middle School, outperforming it in every subject and grade level tested, often by 20 to 30 percentage points.
