Summary

Kenbrook Elementary School in Farmington Hills, MI, serves 388 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the highly rated Farmington Public School District, which holds a 4-star rating statewide.

Kenbrook is a solid, above-average school, though its most recent state ranking (62nd percentile) represents a dip from its recent peak in the 79th percentile just two years ago. One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2%, far better than the district average of 22.3% and the state average of 27.9%. This suggests students are engaged and coming to school ready to learn. The school also shows remarkable effectiveness with its African American students, who ranked in the 85th percentile statewide—a significant improvement and a clear sign that achievement gaps are being closed. However, parents should be aware of a distinct pattern: 3rd-grade scores are a consistent weak point, falling below district averages in both ELA and Math. The good news is that the same cohort of students rebounds strongly by 4th grade, with proficiency rates exceeding district averages. This suggests the school's interventions during 3rd grade are highly effective, though earlier support could prevent the initial slump.

When comparing Kenbrook to nearby options, a few things stand out. Just 0.6 miles away, the Farmington STEAM Academy ranks in the 94th percentile, while other district schools like Forest Elementary (84th percentile) and Longacre Elementary (76th percentile) are also outperforming Kenbrook academically. Notably, Kenbrook spends more per student ($19,538) than the STEAM Academy ($15,094) or even the high-performing West Maple Elementary in the Birmingham Public Schools district ($18,911), yet its outcomes are more middling. There was a bright spot in 5th-grade Social Studies, where Kenbrook students outpaced both district and state averages, showing the school's capacity for high achievement in specific areas.

Open Quote I am on my third child now going through Kenbrook Elementary School and the teachers are amazing. My kids have loved everyone of their teachers and I feel like my children are well prepared for middle school. Close Quote

Open Quote I think if the teachers really liked their job they would do a lot better. It's clear that the new to teaching 2nd grade teacher who was moved from 3rd grade really didn't like the switch and it showed from the first day of school while all she did was complain about being moved and how her stuff was not all moved etc etc etc. Then when my child comes home during testing and tells us how the teacher looked over all the tests and made them "Go back over" and correct their answers" till they got them right. The State and County really need to take a closer look at the Teachers and Administration and how they conduct these State tests. The Teachers may look good because of the false test scores, but YOU ARE HURTING OUR CHILDREN ! Close Quote
