Summary

Wood Creek Elementary School in Farmington Hills, MI, serves 434 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the highly-rated Farmington Public School District, though its own academic performance trails the district average.

Wood Creek’s biggest challenge is a significant achievement gap. While the school spends a substantial $18,008 per student—comparable to other schools in its district—proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are dramatically lower than district-wide averages. For example, 4th-grade ELA proficiency sits at 28.9% versus 50.7% district-wide, and 4th-grade Math is 32.9% versus 52.2%. This gap is even starker when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Forest Elementary or Farmington STEAM Academy, where proficiency rates often double or triple Wood Creek’s numbers. The school also struggles with a 21.6% chronic absenteeism rate—higher than peers like West Maple Elementary (6.1%)—which likely contributes to lower achievement. A concerning trend is the decline in math proficiency as students advance: 3rd-grade math is 37.3%, dropping to 31.3% by 5th grade.

However, there are notable strengths and signs of progress. Wood Creek performs exceptionally well with its African American students, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide—a genuine success worth building on. The school’s overall percentile ranking has also inched upward from 34th in 2021-2022 to 47th in 2025-2026, and chronic absenteeism has dropped from a high of 34.3% to 21.6% over the same period. While Wood Creek’s performance is more similar to schools with comparable socioeconomic demographics, such as Doherty Elementary or Adlai Stevenson Elementary, the school’s recent trajectory suggests efforts are starting to yield results. For parents, the key takeaway is that Wood Creek is a well-funded school in a strong district with real strengths, but it faces significant work in closing the achievement gap for its economically disadvantaged students, particularly in upper elementary math.

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
