Summary

Anderson Middle School in Berkley, MI, serves 489 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-rated Berkley School District, which ranks in the top 8% of Michigan districts.

Anderson is a consistently strong school, earning 4-star ratings for over a decade and ranking in the 84th percentile statewide in 2025-2026. The school's most remarkable strength is its support for Special Education students, who now rank in the 93rd percentile statewide—a dramatic improvement from the 45th percentile just seven years ago. This tells parents that the school has developed highly effective, targeted intervention programs. Anderson also excels in English Language Arts, with 88.2% of 8th graders scoring proficient on the PSAT, outperforming peer schools like Clawson Middle School (79.8%) and Royal Oak Middle School (77.6%). Chronic absenteeism has also improved significantly, dropping from 29.2% post-pandemic to 18.3%, well below the state average of 27.9%.

Compared to its immediate peer group, Anderson is a leader. It outperforms Clawson and Royal Oak in key metrics while spending less per pupil ($16,590) than many neighboring schools. However, parents should note that Anderson's math proficiency rates trail those of the resource-rich Birmingham schools like Derby Middle School and Berkshire Middle School, which benefit from significantly higher per-pupil funding. Within the Berkley district, Anderson's 6th and 7th-grade M-Step scores are slightly below the district average, suggesting other district schools may perform at an even higher level. While the school has seen a slight dip in male student performance recently, Anderson remains an efficient, high-achieving school that offers exceptional support for diverse learners and prepares students well for rigorous high school coursework.
