Summary

Slauson Middle School in Ann Arbor, MI, is a highly-rated public school serving 729 students in grades 6-8 as part of the top-performing Ann Arbor Public Schools district.

Slauson consistently ranks among the best middle schools in Michigan, placing in the top 5% statewide (38th out of 896 schools) for the 2025-2026 school year. This isn't a recent fluke—the school has maintained a top-40 state ranking for the past decade. Test scores tell a similar story: in 6th and 7th grade ELA, roughly 68-71% of students are proficient, compared to state averages of just 37-38%. The school is particularly effective with its Special Education students, who rank in the 92nd percentile statewide, and its White students, who rank 5th in the entire state. Chronic absenteeism at Slauson (29.8%) is also notably lower than the district average (35.7%), suggesting strong student engagement.

Within the Ann Arbor district, Slauson is the second-highest-ranked middle school, trailing only Clague Middle School (ranked 14th) and outperforming Forsythe Middle School (58th), Tappan Middle School (92nd), and Scarlett Middle School (441st). However, Clague edges out Slauson in math—for example, 77.6% of Clague's 7th graders are proficient in math versus 64.5% at Slauson. The contrast with nearby districts is stark: Ypsilanti Community Middle School, just 10 miles away, has proficiency rates in the single digits. While Slauson excels overall, the school faces a clear challenge in closing achievement gaps—its performance with Low Socio-Economic Status, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students falls in the 3-star range, well below the exceptional results seen with other student groups.
