As part of the Farmington Public School District, which is ranked 154 out of 610 districts in Michigan, Farmington High School consistently performs well academically, ranking in the top 25% of Michigan high schools.

One of the key strengths of Farmington High School is its strong academic performance. In 2023-2024, the school ranked 149 out of 743 Michigan high schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, significantly higher than the nearby Farmington Central High School, which ranked 653 out of 743 and received a 1-star rating.

Additionally, the school's racial subgroups, including Asian, African American, and Hispanic students, generally perform better than their counterparts at nearby schools.

While Farmington High School is a high-performing school, it is not without its challenges. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 12.7% in 2018-2019 to 25.4% in 2022-2023, which is a concerning trend that the school and district should address. Additionally, the school's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students have struggled in recent years, suggesting that the school may need to provide additional support and resources to ensure equitable outcomes for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
