Summary

Bingham Farms Elementary School is a highly-rated public school in the affluent community of Bingham Farms, MI, serving 362 students in grades PK-5 within the top-ranked Birmingham Public Schools district.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in science and social studies. In the most recent school year, 5th graders achieved a remarkable 79.3% proficiency in science and 64.9% in social studies—nearly double the state averages. The school has shown dramatic improvement over the past several years, climbing from the 69th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 93rd percentile today, earning a 5-star rating. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8 and a low chronic absenteeism rate of around 6-10%, Bingham Farms provides a supportive and consistent learning environment. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $19,436 per pupil, which is significantly above the state average. One area worth noting is a dip in 5th-grade math proficiency during the 2024-2025 school year (36.1%), which rebounded the following year to 64.9%, suggesting a possible cohort-specific challenge rather than a systemic issue.

When compared to nearby schools, the differences are striking. Bingham Farms and its peers like West Maple Elementary School, Beverly Elementary School, and Conant Elementary School consistently rank in the top 5-10% of the state. In contrast, schools in the nearby Southfield Public School District, such as Adlai Stevenson Elementary School and Alice M Birney K8 School, rank in the bottom 25% with proficiency rates often below 30%. Interestingly, University Elementary School Academy stands out as an outlier within Southfield, ranking in the 90th percentile statewide despite its district's overall low performance. Chronic absenteeism appears to be a key differentiator—low-performing schools like Faxon Academy have absenteeism rates of 45-50%, while Bingham Farms and its high-achieving peers stay below 10%.

Teacher training in special education needs immediate attention. The student/teacher ratio is also a cause for concern and needs reevaluation. Close Quote
