Summary

Farmington High School is a large public high school in Farmington, MI, serving 1,470 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly rated Farmington Public School District. This school stands out as a strong academic performer, consistently earning 4-star ratings and ranking in the 85th percentile of all Michigan high schools in the most recent school year.

For parents, the most encouraging news is the school's exceptional graduation rate of 94.1%, which far exceeds the state average of 84.0% and even outpaces its own district's average of 90.5%. Academically, Farmington High School outperforms nearby schools like Redford Union High School and Clarenceville High School by a wide margin. Interestingly, it also surpasses its sister school, North Farmington High School, despite both schools serving nearly identical student demographics. For example, 67.8% of Farmington 11th graders are proficient in SAT Reading/Writing versus the state average of 52.1%, and its math proficiency (40.5%) is significantly higher than North Farmington's 25.3%. The school also demonstrates a strong commitment to equity, with African American students ranking in the 80th percentile and English Language Learners in the 77th percentile statewide.

There are a few areas worth noting. The school has shown a remarkable turnaround for students from low-income backgrounds, jumping from the 29th percentile to the 72nd percentile in just one year, suggesting recent support programs are working well. However, Special Education services remain the school's weakest area, ranking in the 35th percentile. Additionally, chronic absenteeism sits at 27.0%, which is higher than the district average and nearly matches the state average—a concern even with strong test scores. While Stevenson High School in Livonia ranks higher overall, Farmington's reading scores are close, indicating the school is competitive with the region's best and has clear opportunities to grow in math and science.
