Summary

Warner Middle School is a public middle school located in Farmington Hills, Michigan, serving 543 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Farmington Public School District, which is ranked 138 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Warner Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 30-35% of Michigan middle schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 242 out of 890 middle schools in the state. The school's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some notable exceptions where it outperformed the state average in English Language Arts and Math. However, the school faces challenges in closing achievement gaps, particularly for its Asian, African American, special education, and economically disadvantaged students.

One area of concern at Warner Middle School is the high and increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 23.7% in 2020-2021 to 30.8% in 2022-2023. This is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools, such as Power Middle School and East Middle School. While the Farmington Public School District is investing more resources into Warner Middle School, the school's academic performance has not yet seen a commensurate improvement, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to support its underperforming student subgroups.

Open Quote Grade inflation runs rampant in the school, the principal cannot control the bullying that occurs in the halls and the courses are fluff for the most part. The teachers do not provide the help needed for students to master the content, but then make the students retest multiple time and pretend the final grade best grade is the original. It provides a very false sense of where students are at, considering the M-Step scores continue to be disastrous. Close Quote

Open Quote At a recent tour with incoming 6th graders from the lower Farmington schools, the common thread shared by current students was that bullying and meanness run amok at the school. That is very scary to hear. Close Quote
