Summary

Wood Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Farmington Hills, Michigan, serving 429 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Farmington Public School District, which is ranked 138 out of 613 school districts in the state.

While the Farmington Public School District has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, Wood Creek Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools over the past 5 years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are 10-25 percentage points lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in 5th-grade Social Studies, where only 19.4% of students were proficient, compared to 32.7% in the district and 29.8% statewide. Nearby schools in the West Bloomfield and Birmingham districts, such as Doherty Elementary and Bingham Farms Elementary, also outperform Wood Creek Elementary on academic measures.

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (39.63% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and the elevated chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 22.3% to 30.8%) at Wood Creek Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's relatively low academic performance. However, the school's strong performance for African American students suggests that it may be effectively supporting this subgroup. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and providing additional support for students from low-income families could be potential areas for improvement at Wood Creek Elementary.

I do not understand how you can only rate a school only on test scores. This school has amazing staff and great faculty. It is true that Woodcreek get A bad report card but you have to see the students and how they love to learn. We get alot of students who come from other failing schools and the faculty does an amazing job to get them caught up and to learn. The test scores are not proof of a great school. Close Quote
